Jim Mrowca's past jobs
in conjunction with Veterans Administration Cleveland. NIH SPARC program contributor. Designed hardware and software on bladder and bowel implant prototypes. Left after NIH funding for supported programs were cut in mid COVID-19 pandemic
Non salaried (paid by CCF) VA collaborator on NIH-SPARC funded activities. end date 5/14/21.
Attempt to improve the receive antennae sections of production GE Healthcare MRI systems. My contract ended just after GE Healthcare announced new MRI Air Coils product was announced (and before the GE Healthcare spinoff was cancelled by the $21B transaction with Danaher).
9+ month assignment dealing with PCBA control designs, which include identification of lower cost MCUs, and analysis of step-up AC transformer replacements with new requirements. Designed a potential 24VAC to lower volts DC power conversion solution.
Designing control systems on a contract assignment thru AEROTEK completed 4/13/18 "Channel Products is a leading designer and manufacturer of ignition systems and safety controls for gas appliance manufacturers worldwide. The primary markets served by the company include the outdoor cooking; recreational vehicle; commercial laundry; and water, space and agricultural heating." With many CP production activities moving to China, the business execution priorities shifted and my contract was concluded.
Control systems for thermal management systems deployed on DoD platforms. Wrote routines in C on an embedded processor. Left Parker Aerospace due to a reduction in force (business segment softened; also follow on contract not awarded).
Design, support, development, and testing of firmware & hardware used in scales that are mounted in forklifts for shipping companies. Left for an opportunity (networked with me via LinkedIn) that was too good to pass up.
Aug2012-Mar2013: was in (washer/sterilizer) Infection Protection Technology- Control Systems, until Surgical Solutions needed assistance with an nda'd prototype from a contracted effort that was a bad design. Mar 2013-Apr 2015 Surgical Solutions R&D -Controls Group Operating Room LED lighting systems Left STERIS due to reorganized R&D efforts after European acquisitions.
Specification of redesign of XSTAR Digital Quad into one PCB. When a key feeder contract was lost & another US Army RRRP effort moved to the right, I was laid off (before BAE sued Star Dynamics on patent infringement & investor owner Thomas Becnel filed Chapter 13)
Maritime Sensors and Systems (MS2) System & embedded processing classified Radar & Sonar applications. Included MEADS(that was a mis-managed design effort), SQQ89 (twice), MTFA, & TPS-79 (twice). LMT MS2 over-hired in 2005 -- 33% less radar awarded than (VP Fred Mosally bet big on radar & lost) forecast. After MS2 reorg, I was released at the start of 25% cumulative site employment reductions.
Contractor - computer validation (21 CFR Part 11) at Merck Research Labs. Specified NTFS (ACL) permissions. Remediated unfriendly systems & software via SOP. When contract suspended went to work for an instrument data archival solution company (Scientific Software, now part of Agilent) doing on-site customer support at Merck. Once Agilent acquired CyberLAB source code ownership, my on-site Merck position was eliminated.
[hired into Lucent Microelectronics; left before the LSI Logic merger with Agere] Provided Ikos simulation library support for Agere ASIC design libraries (simulating full digital ICs) After the ".com bust" happened as well as 9/11/2001, my position was eliminated due to a reduction in force and stoppage of Ikos modelling.
IBM Microelectronics (2014 IBM sold off this to Globalfoundaries) Provided simulation support for the IBM Blue Logic ASIC libraries. Supported system on chip (SoC) and IP protection on hardware assisted validation tools. When the IBM pension equation changed, Lucent Microelectronics called (via a recruiter) & I resigned on August Friday the 13th 1999 for a much better cost of living situation.
Semiconductor Group - Application Specific Products (ASP) Systems engineering and unit test of TI ASIC design software ERC tool (Detector-II), TGB1000, TGB2000E, TGC3000, TGC4000. Interfaced with many software teams on requirements (especially TI Bangalore, India). Aligned ASIC design software feature set content as the Design Systems Architecture software engineering systems interface. In 1997, my family missed seasons & wanted to head back north; I had a recruiter contact IBM; after IBM announced copper interconnect on the SA27 product, I jumped into IBM Microelectronics (just before Houston-driven TI ASP management reorg and layoffs)
[DSEG = Defense Systems and Electronics Group] Worked on classified Infrared systems digital systems (included IR search & track system simulation) until mid 1987. Became the Daisy/Dazix digital logic simulation librarian lead for all of TI DSEG (old engineering automation department) thru 3q1990. A TI DSEG layoff opened the door to my ASIC career in the semiconductor group.
