| Ed Ellis began his career in 1962 with CTS Corporation's Research and Development Department in Elkhart, Indiana where he was privileged to work with many of the pioneers in printed electronics technology. Ed, an avid student, became an expert printed electronic material formulator under their mentoring and progressed from a hands-on R&D Technician through a series of engineering and engineering management positions, to Director of R&D at a major CTS subsidiary before retiring from CTS with 26 years of service . Following his career with CTS, Ed assumed the position of Director of Engineering for Allen Bradley Company's thick film operation in Greensboro, North Carolina. After Allen Bradley closed its business there, Ed joined Clarostat Company of Dover, New Hampshire as Manager of R&D and Process Development where he spearheaded the implementation of infrared curing of Clarostat's proprietary printed electronic polymer resistor films. Pending Clarostat's purchase by British Tire and Rubber; Ed returned to Indiana in February 1991 and joined Delco Electronics, now Delphi Electronics & Safety. While at Delphi, Ed spearheaded a development of printed electronic materials processes and products designed for the power handling and heat dissipation needed by GM Hybrid Vehicles . Ed also formulated and developed printed electronic materials & processes for; pressure sensors; accelerometers; lean and agile manufacturing; embedded passives; multi-layer hybrids and a void-free solder joint process. Ed is an expert in IR firing and the formulating of IR fireable thick film materials. His work at Delphi resulted in 11 US Patents and numerous publications and awards which included Delphi Automotive System's "Boss Kettering" Award. In September 2001 Ed was inducted into the Delphi Innovation Hall of Fame, an honor extended to less than 1% of Delphi's world-wide workforce. Upon retiring from Delphi after 10 years of service, Ed joined Paratek Microwave, Inc., of Columbia, Maryland, where he directed the development of tunable printed electronic dielectric inks used in the fabrication of Paratek's tunable miniaturized front ends and smart scanning antennas for military and commercial telecommunications. His work resulted in US patent #6,905,989 "Tunable Dielectric Compositions Including Low Loss Glass" which issued June 14, 2005. Ed remained with Paratek until January 2003 when he relocated to Pensacola, Florida and began soliciting consulting opportunities. Ed holds B.S. & Master of Business Science degrees from Indiana University and a Doctorate in International Law from Columbus University. |
