Professional Experience
5/4/98 present
Motorola Mobility LLC, a Lenovo company
(Multiple locations in Northern Illinois)
Principal Staff RF/Electrical Engineer; previously Senior Electrical Engineer, Senior Staff Electrical Engineer
Technology development, hardware engineering, all aspects of product development; from product definition and
customer negotiation, through engineering development and validation, to manufacturing launch and MOL
(maintenance-of-line); Contributor and company representative to industry standards and regulatory bodies.
Roles ranging from product engineer and advanced technology engineer, to product design team lead, to company-wide
lead for multiple strategic technology areas. Overhead functions have included management of outsourced
development teams, contract negotiation and ownership, mentoring of junior staff.
Product lines have included OEM build-to-print embedded products, and Motorola-branded smartphones and consumer
products. Satisfied OEM customers have included Toyota/Lexus, VW/Audi, BMW, Daimler-Chrysler, and GM/OnStar.
National carrier and retail customers have included AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Radio Shack and Best Buy.
Key developer of award-winning (CES2008) advanced user interface hardware - morphing (segmented high-voltage
electrochemical lighting and electro-optical shuttering), piezo haptics, capacitive sensing, multi-touch touchscreens.
Areas of company-funded personal research included touch sensing via sonic & ultrasonic acoustic wave sensing,
impedance spectroscopy, bending wave vibrometry, and novel electromecha nical means for producing realistic tactile
feedback and wide-bandwidth audio using the glass touchscreens of smartphones.
Key accomplishments include:
o Originated new product line of worlds first digital cell-phone signal boosters, long thought infeasible.
o Sole design EE of the worlds first Bluetooth-based cordless telephones. Developed numerous successful
technology demos for industry and the public, in the early days of Bluetooth in the early 2000s.
o Oversaw clean sheet re-design of OnStar TCU (Telematics Control Unit) board for model year 2005;
personally designed GPS, power, and processor/memory subsystems. 3 years contracts totaled ~$750M.
o Responsible for Motorolas electrical development of three advanced user interface technologies that debuted
in the Motorola ROKR E8, which won Best of Show at CES 2008. Following this, personally directed the
electro/mechanical/software implementation of dozens of capacitive touchscreen-enabled in numerous
products, with a flawless track record out in the field.
o Responsible for the bulk of Motorolas technical co-development, with Fulton Technologies, of the Wireless
Power Consortiums Qi wireless charging standard; drafted ~85% of the original air interface.
o Architected state-of-the-art Motorola InstaShare microprojector

External Publications
Technical Annex II for MoU Regarding the Harmonisation of a Charging Capability for Mobile
Phones European Commission 12 January 2010.
Technical standards for Mobile Phone external power supplies, i.e. chargers, for sale in Europe from mid -2011
onward. Having pioneered the problem discovery of common-mode power supply noise on capacitive touchscreens, and the
major solutions to it in both power supplies and in touch IC implementations, authored the portions of the standard covering
to common-mode noise output, which affects operability of capacitive touchscreen devices such as smartphones, tablets, and
media players. Those portions are on pages 2, 5-9 of the 11-page Part A. Taught these methods to multiple companies.
IEC 62684 ed1.0: Interoperability specifications of common external power supply (EPS) for use
with data-enabled mobile telephones International Electrotechnical Commission 27 January 2011.
A reformulation of the earlier European Commissions universal charger specs, IEC 62684:2011 specifies the
interoperability of common external power supplies for use with data enabled mobile telephones. It defines the common
charging capability and specifies interface requirements for the external power supply
