Alex Martin

R&D / Software Engineer

Location:

Raised near Seattle area and resident near Denver for 20 years. I have been writing software fulltime for 7 years, and part time for 20+. I have a reputation for being a creative problem solver and fast learner, and I design, prototype and deploy robust quasi realtime production critical data collection, management, visualization and analysis tools. At my current company I have been promoted from Eng. Tech, R&D Eng. I through R&D Eng. III

Work

Excelitas Technolgies Corp.

Senior R&D Engineer III

Jul 2007 - Present

We a photonics technology leader focused on delivering innovative, high-performance, market-driven solutions to meet the lighting, optronics, detection and optical technology market needs.

  • Developed three production critical metrology softwares for feedback during module assembly utilizing image processing of video feeds to servo on alignment inputs, functionaly fit data, and measure performance output which support ~8M$ in revenue.
  • Electrical signal monitoring, triggering, and time series collection into databases upon which visualization, statistics and summary tools are used to support process control and maintenance for ~20 coating chambers generating ~30M$ in revenue.
  • General sensor data collection, monitoring, analysis and reporting to support process monitoring and control across the full company which generates ~80M$ in revenue yearly.
  • Develop, deploy, and maintain ~25 production critical applications / websites / hardware-software systems across the plant in the last decade, and many more non-critical applications and databases in use by engineers and technicians daily.
