3-Waveguide Transmission Lines
Timing Circuits
TR Transmit/Receive Circuits

In order to ease the workload I began automating the use of signal generators (Gigatronics) and Signal Analyzers (HP) using computer routines custom written by myself. This usually elimated 60-70% of the personnel previously needed to be dispatched to a sub in need of repairs.

I used these same techniques to automate several key bottlenecks in a modern aerospace component production facility. My first task was automating a nearly $1 million RF/Microwave Test Lab. Taking testing of parts down from 2 minutes each to under 7 seconds each. Archiving data led to less engineers needed to trace problems in production to their source. CD ROM replaced stacks of paper test results.

Next automated was the Environmental Test Lab and Engineering. After 3 years of work I decided to pursue automation on my own using the new abilites of the internet.

Kyle Gomboy’s Experience

Owner
G-Squared (Self-employed)

(Self-Employed; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)

January 1997 — Present (11 years 10 months)

Palmdale Oil Inc. Bulk Fuel Distributor with 4 Facilities. http://www.centeron.net

Palmdale is currently implementing a new accounting system and network designed by G2 Partner and Co-Founder Robin Gomboy. This system will tie into a currently growing system of remote fuel probes installed into Palmdale Oil's clients fuel tanks.

Viewing the probes via and online interface, and soon via a Googlemaps mashup we're coding, allows Palmdale to dispatch more effectively and ensure critical clients never run dry.

Using off the shelf and custom hardware and software we will be integrating these probes with the accounting and inventory systems allowing a companywide dashboard for managers, sales and production to use.

Installed central datacenter adding a 1.5Mbps SDSL and $200,000 accounting application. G2 handles system uptime, maintenance and repair of all aspects of this network and system.

Installed GPS Fleet Vehicle Tracking system with Arc Logistics Route integration.
Test Engineer

SV Microwave

(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Telecommunications industry)

February 1996 — January 1999 (3 years)

Designed and implemented computer driven test procedures for validating mission critical aerospace electronic components. Completely automated the Electronic Test Lab and Environmental Test Lab using HPVEE and VBscript languages.

Completed several robotically driven test machines using air-driven pneumatics. Developed procedures for testing parts used on the following platforms:

1-F111 Bomber Radar Guidance Systems
2-Space Shuttle Flight Systems components
3-Aegis Cruiser Honeycomb Radar System
4-F22 Raptor Flight Systems

Created 3D models to train assemblers on proper procedures-Models used to train AMD/Intel engineers on component locking mechanisms.

Automated calibration of HP Network Vector Analyzers for testing of mission critical USN radar system components. Used to verify parts electrically for:
Hughes Space & Comm
TRW
USN

Lockheed Martin
Amphenol
Raytheon
USAF
General Electric
Advanced Electronics Technician

USN

(Government Agency; 10,001 or more employees; Military industry)

January 1987 — January 1993 (6 years 1 month)

Electronics Technician for Ballistic Missle Squadrons based in Kings Bay Ga. Responsible for all Radar, Sonar and Satellite system onboard Poseidon and Trident Class SSBN's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Submarine_Base_Kings_Bay

Installed the first GPS Magellan 5000 DX Units to all Poseidon SSBN submarines attached to Squadron 16 in Kings Bay GA

Repaired a previously "unrepairable" mast and antenna stack including troubleshooting waveguide radar transmission lines and synchro alignments running the length of an SSBN hull on USS Mariano G Vallejo.

Pulled entire Mast and Assembly to repair Electronic Counter Measure systems onboard USS West Virginia (SSBN-736) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_West_Virginia_%28SSBN-736%29

Worked with civilian contractors from General Dynamics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics and Electric Boat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Boat on many mission critical and highly classified systems upgrades USN submarines.
