Kenneth Robert Brown

Engineering Technician

Tel# 781-***-****

A military trained technician with years of hands-on experience in Radios, Radar, Navigation, Switching systems and Oscillators.

05/2021 to present Day Trading - taking advantage of daily fluctuations in the market

2018 – To 04/2021 Harris Corporation – Palm Bay, FL

Engineering Technician C

Test, troubleshoot and isolate failure to the component level for a Radar Countermeasure System. Conduct environmental and vibrational testing as required by the customer.

2014 – 2018 Rockwell Collins Corporation – Melbourne, FL

Avionics Technician

As a member of the Weather Radar and DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) cells my responsibilities are to test boards, sub-assemblies and systems. If a failure is detected, troubleshoot to the component level and submit the board for repair. Testing and troubleshooting fairly complex Digital Signal Processor boards to receiver assemblies to the power supplies using a multimeter, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, Thermal Imager, automated testers and JTAG tester/ programmer on boards with boundary scanning. Of course a visual inspection using a microscope is the first and quickest method of fault isolation.

2012 - 2013 Harris Government Communication Systems - Malabar,FL

Engineering Technician

Test, troubleshoot and replace defective assemblies as well as system calibration for a rf direction finder.

2010 Computer Systems Raytheon - Ascension Island

Senior Radar Technician

Oversee all preventative maintenance and repair efforts for a ground

based space tracking radar site. Tracking duties when needed.

2007 - 2009 Signal Technology Corporation - Beverly, MA

Engineering Technician

Responsible for testing, modifying, upgrading, troubleshooting and

repairing to the component level various types of high precision military grade oscillators,high speed switching assemblies, amplifiers and Oscillators.

1999 - 2006 Northrop Grumman Corporation - Melbourne, FL

Radar Technician

Duties included: the initial testing, installation and operation and when

appropriate: modification, repair and upgrading of the following

systems:

*Radar *UHF/VHF/HF Radios *Navigation (GPS/INS)

*SCDL (Surveillance and Control Datalink) Secure data communications using a scanning parabolic dish.

*JTIDS(Joint Tactical Information Distribution) A military wide system for coordination of available assets(aircraft to ground support)

*Parallel/Digital Computer Systems(Compaq Alphas,Raytheon VAX,Control Data's programmable signal processors which perform signal compression using fast fourier transforms. )

*Digital & Audio Communications - Radio(hf,vhf,uhf & satcom) acceptance testing which covers all functional parameters: power out, signal to noise, frequency fidelity, impedance varification, receiver sensitivity, guard channel testing, ect. System level operations(comsec,half quick) troubleshooting and repair. Other aspects of communications includes i.c.s, voice over ip using ethernet and dedicated bus systems over fiber and wire.

Also responsible for prototyping testing aids and proof of concept

assemblies as well as cable and harness assembly and installation.

Cable experience ran the gamut from cutting, marking, labeling and terminating single wire rf cables to 100 plus conductor mil spec cable assemblies. Testing for conductivity, shorts and opens using a volt/ohm meter to sweeping cables using a network analyzer. I am familiar with thermal transfer and laser marking equipment as well as metcaling cable shielding. I also have cable installation and fault isolation experience (using a frequency domain reflectometer) on F14 fighters and JSTARS aircraft(a modified Boeing 707) as well as in a Lab environment. Also harness construction using wiring diagrams and peg boards. Rack, cabinet, console and junction box wiring, internal installation of modules, connectors, trays and equipment followed by ring-out, corrections and testing was an ongoing effort throughout the program.

AWARDS: Sterling Award for the concept and development of an EEPROM

Erasure Device, as well as creating automated software and procedures to

replace manual methods in use.

United States Navy

Aviation Electronic Technician

Basic and Advanced Electronics training as well as F14 System level

training which included Troubleshooting, Testing and Repair to the

following systems:

*Computers *Radar *Communications *Navigation

Scored in the top 10% on the E-4 exam.

Advanced to E-5 on next cycle.
