Background

About Sam Armstrong

I am a reliable, results-oriented, self-starter with a positive excellence-driven attitude. With more than five years of experience in aviation power control device production support, I have worked in a group of design engineers to resolve manufacturing issues while addressing product design and test concerns. I actively participate in the characterization and resolution of various testing issues found in new product development resulting in significant product yield improvement. I have six years of experience in coordinating, preparing and reviewing system schematics, technical drawings, documentation, data collection and analysis, writing and implementing test requirements, test plan protocols, validation requirements and product assembly instructions.Accomplishments:Strong design and development record in test engineering for complex electro-mechanical systems, including:•Designed and developed AC and DC load card calibration and troubleshooting test fixtures – reduced person-hour costs by 60%.•Redesigned HASS automated test fixture installing up-to-date equipment. This increased system reliability by 38%.•Designed and developed ultrasound transducer test fixture – ease of use saved up to per day in final cost of goods.•Improved system electrical safety test process – essential to CE marking, reduced test time by 14%.•Worked with product development to develop optical system test – improved reliability by 75%•Wrote and validated software to collect reliability data from SQL database – 10% increase in data accuracy.Specialties: • Strong problem solving experience• Troubleshooting electronic equipment to component level• Soldering experience to 0201 level.• Aptitude for control systems associated with robotics• Basic level programming skills to include C, C++, C#Goals: Apply my electrical engineering and mechanical skills to new and exciting projects to include research and development as well as manufacturing. This will enable a manufacturing company to deliver a great product while expanding my skill sets.
