Paul Kolesnikoff 424 West 3" St. Port Angeles, WA 98362 (720)409-6070 paul@grinning.us CONSULTING ENGINEER QUALIFICATIONS • Extensive experience in specifying, designing, and delivering instrumentation, machine control, and automation systems. • Designed and executed risk reduction exercises to ensure project success • Created system specifications for electrical, mechanical, and operational performance • Validated system operation through test, peer review and analysis • Involved in all phases from initial concept to installation and post-delivery support • Performed failure analysis of systems and mitigated issues in designs and procedures • Program in multiple languages including Matlab, C, and Visual Basic • Use team synergy to find and implement optimal solutions to diverse engineering issues • Excellent written and verbal communication skills PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Principal Engineer, Ball Aerospace& Technologies Corp. 1985-2016 Developed Real-Time Data Acquisition Instrumentation Systems. Systems acquired antenna RF performance while controlling polarization, antenna state, frequency, and multiple axes positions. Antennas ranged from a few pounds to multiple tons with positioning accuracies to hundredth of a degree, data taken statically or dynamically during positioner motion. Generated specification and system architecture in collaboration with customers, users. and quality System used a combination of COTS instrumentation, COTS components, and custom circuitry. For custom circuitry, selected processor, developed firmware, interfaced to peripheral devices Identified risk areas and performed risk reduction exercises and trade studies as needed Lead design and production team Performed failure analysis during all phases of development Minimized integration downtime in 24-hour test facilities through design, planning and integration support Wrote and executed validation procedures Wrote operation procedures to train end users. Documented entire data acquisition system Authored Data Acquisition and Analysis Software Package. Package acquires data using Real-Time Data Acquisition Instrumentation System Analysis included provisions for gain normalization, polarization transformation, directivity, percent coverage, conversion between time and frequency domain, and nS time gating. Package used by the test facility operators as well as the entire technical staff for further data analysis, including comparison of theoretical and measured data, and generating publication-quality graphs for presentation Developed, peer reviewed, executed, and documented validation plan Source code and installation package documented and archived in configuration management system. Lead the Technical Development and Operation of Antenna Test Facility Doubled facility throughput every 2 years during 20-year period, while also increasing test accuracy. Standardized facility equipment. software. and procedures to drastically reduce test engineering costs.. minimize rework. increase accuracy. and simplify training. Worked with ad-hoc cross-functional teams to improve operation. Teams could include representatives from facilities, mechanical engineering. materials, software engineering, quality. production. and others. Developed training program with a combination of formal classes, video.. animations, and documents to train technicians and engineers in facility operation and associated concepts such as spherical coordinate systems, electro-magnetic wave propagation. and polarization transformations. Mentored other engineers and technicians as they developed their electronics design. math. structured programming and antenna test skills. Multiple year support of student intern and coop programs with annual summer projects Documented entire facility and maintained documents in configuration management system. Documentation included structural blueprints. block diagrams. schematics, software, and procedures. Used Matlab to perform complex data analysis for unique and challenging situations Supported Precision 20'X20' Reflector acquisition, installation.. and alignment with surface accuracy requirements to within 0.001" Detected and corrected errors in original point cloud using multi-section. 4th order polynomial fit. Verified surface accuracy through conversion to SolidWorks. and then to NC files Developed techniques to analyze machined surface measurements Found and corrected residual errors caused by machining techniques(tool wear and tool change) Developed alignment algorithm and performed reflector alignment Verified final installed surface accuracy and alignment using Coherent Laser Radar Used RF field probe data and physical optics for final RF verification of reflector system Documented and peer reviewed all techniques and results Excellent teamwork,written and verbal communication skills Active in Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA) international technical organization (www.amta.org). Presented papers at annual conferences Worked with multinational team to organize all aspects of multiple annual conferences. Elected to AMTA Board of Directors 2001 and served as AMTA President for 2004. Served regularly on AMTA Technical Committee and as Session Chair Involved in international expansion of AMTA to host regional events in Europe, Asia, and South America Involved in partnerships with EUCAP(Europe)and ATMA(India) Invited Speaker at EUCAP 2012 in Prague. Czech Republic Electronics Technician, RCA Astro Electronics 1981-1985 Electronics Technician, Microcom 1980-1981 Solar Hot Water Technician, Solar Energy Systems 1980 Electronics Technician, US Air Force 1976-1980 Honorably Discharged Additional Experience/Coursc Work Control and Tracking Algorithms, Uncertainty Analysis, Digital Circuit Design, Analog Circuit Design, Structured and Object Oriented Programming, User Interface Design, Embedded System Design, MATLAB, Visual Basic, C, C++, Antenna Theory, Computational Electromagnetics using Physical Optics, Radar Principles, Applied Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, vector calculus in three dimensions, linear algebra, Fourier Transforms, coordinate transformations, and use of complex variables.
