Cover To: Those prospective employers or collaborators, with appropriate vision.
Dear Sirs/Madams:
I am intending to apply for employment or contracting opportunities at your outfit in the
engineering and technical application fields, and would appreciate your advice in that regard.
Do you seek a capable, highly organized, detail oriented technical person with a broad cross
discipline flexibility? Are you in search of a strong team player or manager-leader with proven
skills in tough development and business liaison environments? No hand-holding? Look no
further... I am a driven and focused individual who knows how to work completely
autonomously, or to connect a team directly to the hard-contact points, how to identify targets
rapidly, and to slate multiple-branching schedules that link those milestones in an expedient
manner. Basic highlights include:
• Concept-to-completion design in advanced electronic/electrical and machine systems.
• Quotes and top-level execution of multi-million dollar projects.
• Consumer/Commercial/Industrial/Defense/Aerospace.
• Overlay advantages arising from frequent close contact with very high level executives.
• Startling creativity, genuine insight, clever solutions that reveal deep thought and
thorough contemplation—like good chess requires. This has made me a frequent "go-toguy"
with many top executives.
• Many proven accomplishments & references. The web resume has more detail.
It has become more common in the light of hard cutbacks in staffing these days, for employers to
look very closely at the value of multi-disciplined experienced engineers with a strong side in
leading business acumen as a free bonus. Seriously, it would surely behoove you to stop and
think here, and simply ask if I might love doing that which you do. Therefore, I propose that you
carefully consider the powerful depths of my offerings, and examine the true value of my own
wide range of cross-disciplinary backgrounds for yourself. Just a call - you may be highly
rewarded for such a slight effort!
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely Indeed,
David A. Masters

regulatory compliance such as UL /CSA /EN /FCC /NEC /CE /ISO /MIL. An impressive assortment of client
projects and related manufacturing activities has ensued since the 1987 startup. The result after all this (see Project
Detail below) allows me to realize that there is nothing I can’t do now today. Operating a generalized high-tech
development firm carries a multitude of experience and constant industry education. You should call with specific
requirements just in case you can find the 'Wow' solution to your own urgent needs!
Prior: Clevite Industries Inc. (Formerly Gould - Now Tenneco)
Senior Product Development Engineer – Automotive Tier-1 Supplier
Primary Engineering Liaison to General Motors Y-Car development group (Corvette).
Major player and lead designer in the new Low-Tire-Warning-System development, also Ford/GMTruck&Bus/3M/Cadillac/Camaro/Mercedes/Porsche
and numerous test-track projects related thereto. Plant
engineering @ Corvette/Ky final vehicle-test & release. Advanced service tools design.
Radio-telemetry digital PCM, RF 241MHZ and related full-custom IC's (integrated circuits), plant layout,
microcontrollers, software/firmware, custom test equipment, FCC regulations. Numerous extensive plant
specialized equipment design/commission/certification/ release that include high-vacuum chambers and radioprotected
Faraday cages, automated product tuning and packaging, burn-in, QC test as well as specialized conformal
coating equipment and numerous process lines laid-out and analyzed for critical process efficiency in Six Sigma
intent. Energy-scavenging/harvesting development (PZT). Documentation, purchasing etc. etc.
Began as a tech but was quickly recognized as highly-competent so was promoted to development engineer, then
soon after to senior development engineer. Large experience in automotive reliability analysis and correlation
studies that relate the 1-million actual wheel miles I implemented with GM in-house accelerated test platforms at the
GM Tech-Center. Notable- Besides perfecting the 'Super-Regen' radio receiver used there for wireless tire-pressurelink,
and my related patent, I also found the time to write a complex section of the Corvette manual, and got offers
from the legal department when they noticed that what I wrote could not be changed or improved and was accepted
'verbatim' (an unusual occurrence). Most CM products otherwise I had major development contributions thereto.
Misc Prior Valuable Career Mix:
RCA Analog Test & Plant Technician, Arcade Electronics, Large Property Management, Optical Technician.

SAT score top record-holder at Monroeville high school. This record may still stand today.
After high school, thought I may need remedial math to buttress for the big-time in college. So I signed-up at TerraTech
College for Summer School Collegiate Math 100 before I was to begin the regular season, and this would
lessen my burden for the real hard classes when the primary quarters began. At the end of the course, the instructor
asked me... "Why are you here Dave? - You never missed one answer on any test or exams in the entire quarter - Not
Even One! - Never been an absolutely perfect score in this class ever... you are screwing-up the grade-curve"... (A
lesson in underestimating one’s self. Sorry--my bad.)

Civic Duty, Fun Stuff, and other "Feathers In The Cap":
Published Front-Page Norwalk Reflector "Local Businessman Designed Equipment - Comet of the Century
Discovered". Hale-Bopp Comet. The 'Comet of the Century'. Mid 1990's. Equipment I designed and built was
credited to enable the discovery of this major comet by amateur large-telescope operators long-before official
networks would catch it.
Published Sandusky Register "Venus-Transit Occurs After 122 years - No One Alive Today Has Seen It Since
Then." I provided my own actual camera images taken during this very rare event where Venus passes across the
face of the sun.
“Tech-Talk” speaker, technology trends, local Kiwanis & Rotary clubs.
Catholic school annual fair volunteer worker, 50/50 wheel Emcee & hard-sell crowd ticket sales.
Volunteer Cub-Scout Den-Leader. Boy-Scout troop leader. Eagle scout. Order-of-the-Arrow rare election.
Jamboree winner.
Nature-Trail Guide, tested hundreds of students against 50 species Ohio trees and ground flora, two trails,
marked/unmarked.
Model rocketry. I was using trig tables to measure altitude for other kids in the neighborhood too, at 10 years old!
Foster Parent 8 years, about 10 kids. Usual 'Burn-Out' time is 3-4 years, but Mom was the county House-Mother.
Direct Suicide intervention (2), both were teen girls in foster.
Habitat for Humanity volunteer.
Volunteer clubhouse builder. Foundation, framing, electrical and controls incl. lighting/fridge, dark-sky astronomy.
Campaign organizer - Huron County Engineer.
Host congressional candidate (Congressman Philip Crane) at promo-talk, campaign event.
Animal rescue trap/recover/house & forward, Humane Society.
PA system work for local school.
First-impact on a comet by human intent: Provided staff scientists at Ball-Engineering (Boulder, CO) with
specialized tracking equipment so they could visually track the action. An 800 LB beryllium-copper shape-charge
hit the comet out around the Jupiter distance. It made big news televised and on JPL networks, surely you saw that
in the news? I watched it 'live-action' in my own home-made telescope.
Christmas Shooting Star. 90-foot up star display with 60-foot multi-spray-tail for Christmas in dark background
sky country setting. Looked just like comet Hale-Bopp photographs as the "comet-of-the-century" mid-90's. Mr.
Macy would certainly approve. Just for fun but a real serious promo-rig and a real traffic-stopper passing my
house. Yes - every car slowed down for that! Near 1000 lamps white and blue, over 200' of outdoor power cord
rigging and a unique power-winch I had to design in order to elevate this thing to near the top of my 100' radio
tower. Totally awesome seen against a jet-black winter sky it floated way up with no apparent means of support.
And it was big - real big - seen many miles away. A way-cool time kick for me.
Signoff Ramblings:
It's not pretty. No resume template I have seen actually fits my intent either for flexibility or linkability. A resume
is never done of course. Sorry about that. But like any person could be construed, it is a living document. I'll keep
it up and tack-on as necessary. If you read this far, then you are more like me... thorough... Thanks For Your Time!
