design in military and commercial applications. Programs include
systems with Bell Helicopter, U.S. Navy Missile Ammunition Depot,
U.S. Army Arsenals, NASA, McDonald Douglas, TI Defense systems and
Raytheon. Commercial applications have included broadband cable and
satellite communications systems and large-scale multi-user data
acquisition systems. This experience has been applied in developing
test systems utilizing current proven technologies to maximize
production densities and throughput. Recent emphasis has focused on
the real-time networking of data capture and analysis during burn-in
testing providing valuable statistics of product performance and
yield.
John Smith [Development
Engineer]
John Smith has over thirty years of experience in product
development, electronic design, computer science and engineering
management. Development projects include medical clinical diagnostic
instruments, telephony equipment, video equipment. Recent experience
has been focused on Wafer Level testing using state of the art
design techniques such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays programmed
using VHDL. Design platforms included ORCAD schematic capture and
Visual Basic 6 for system control.
Mickey Jenson
[Manager, Sales]
Mickey Jenson has been in the semiconductor environmental test
industry for
over 30 years. He began with STL Electronics, a semiconductor
burn-in and test lab, as a test technician. After 2 years of
military service and completing his degree in general business from
North Texas State University, he returned to STL and worked in
customer service which eventually led to a position in sales. In the
early 1980's STL Electronics was acquired by GEO Reliability Services
and Mickey was promoted to the position of area sales manager.
