SI-LIST Members,
I am a Signal Integrity Engineer seeking employment.
I have 20+ years of experience in the Telecommunications and Electronics
industry, focussing on signal integrity and EM modeling for the past 7
years. I was recently part of another economy-induced layoff from a small
start-up IC company in the Portland, OR area.
In addition to signal integrity, I have contributed to many other areas of
the industry including RF modeling and simulation, radio frequency ID tags,
multi-beam array antennas, andmultichip module process development and
accelerated life testing.
I've appended my resume. Please feel free to contact me at
e.sweetman@xxxxxxxxx\

PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE: A professional engineering or R&D job in the
electronics industry with a strong emphasis on Signal Integrity and / or
Electromagnetic Modeling.
EDUCATION
PhD in Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
- Teaching and Research Assistant
MS in Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
SB in Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA
WORK EXPERIENCE
- R&D engineer in the telecommunications and electronics industry for over
21 years.
- Contributed to the development of a wide range of products, including
multi-chip module manufacturing and test processes, environmentally-benign
manufacturing processes, subsystems for radio frequency ID tags and
calibration procedures for multi-beam antennas.
- Supported many RF and high-speed digital product development organizations
through electronic modeling and simulation.
2001 - 2003 SENIOR SIGNAL INTEGRITY ENGINEER Accelerant Networks
- Enhanced Accelerant Network sales pitch to potential customers by
evaluating their backplanes, cables or other copper interconnect structures
for maximum performance potential with Accelerant Network products.
Provided customers with detailed reports from Network Analyzer and BER
laboratory measurements together with computer simulations. I have analyzed
approximately 50 such systems for over 25 companies.
- Improved high-speed board and backplane layout using 2-D and 3-D
electromagnetic modeling software. Interconnect features were optimized for
best performance, resulting in better board designs for internal designers
and external customers.
- Advised in-house engineers and potential customers on design changes to
improve multi-gigabit/sec performance.
1982 - 2001 MEMBER OF TECHNICAL STAFF Lucent Technologies Bell Labs
- Improved high-speed digital backplane and circuit card designs, working
with four different Lucent Technologies business units, using measurement,
electromagnetic modeling and simulation. Systems that I simulated included
unbalanced and differential, multi-drop and point-to-point buses (1998 -
2001).
- Affected architecture changes to improve RF backplanes, circuit cards,
coaxial connector interfaces and antennas, working with Lucent Technologies
wireless business units (1996 - 1998).
- Developed simple and reliable internal phase/amplitude calibration system
for a multi-beam smart antenna project (1996 - 1997).
- Designed subsystems and novel data analysis methods for Radio Frequency
tags for cargo and package tracking (1994 - 1996).
- Provided critical support to the development of new photopolymer materials
through Temperature-Humidity-Bias (THB) accelerated stress testing.
Created software applications for analysis and reporting of reliability test
results. Designed test circuits to evaluate the reliability of new polymer
materials. Maintained and ran a THB test laboratory (1987 - 1994).
- Designed a prototype solvent spray developer to test ozone-friendly
replacement solvents. Test results guided design of full-scale system for
manufacturing electronic hybrid circuits (1990 - 1992).
- Created a flexible database, when nothing similar existed, used to track
visual inspection (1986 - 1989).
- Invented processing methods for coating, patterning and curing
photopolymer materials as a principle member of the AT&T POLYHIC Multichip
Module development team (1982 - 1989).
MILITARY SERVICE: STRATEGIC MICROWAVE SYSTEM REPAIR SPECIALIST, US Army
- Microwave radio maintenance and repair

ASSOCIATIONS AND AWARDS
- Awarded two U.S. patents in the area of RFID (Radio Frequency
Identification), 2001
- Served as Lucent liaison, co-chair of Technology Transfer Committee and
Executive Advisory Board member, Georgia Tech Packaging Research Center,
Atlanta, GA, 1998 - 2000
- Co-chaired IPC (The Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic
Circuits) Task Group to create a standard for characterizing polymer
dielectric materials for electronic applications,1991- 94
