With more than twenty years of experience
in multifaceted engineering environments, Dwight Brooks' diverse experience
includes the design of turbofan jet engines, 20,000 square foot fabric
tension structures and consumer/industrial electronic products. He has
expertise in all phases of product development, from concept through full-scale
production with responsibilities related to Industrial Design, Sales/Marketing
Support, Functional Specification, Project Scheduling, Budgeting, CAD
Design, Computer Analysis, Procurement, Environmental Testing, Certification
and Manufacturing Support.
Dwight authored nine patents over 11 years while working
for Motorola. As lead Mechanical Staff Development Engineer, Dwight and
his team developed the core pager product that became Motorola's largest
seller. Competing in the normally closed Japanese market, his product
group utilized and perfected techniques including Design for Assembly,
Design for Manufacturability, Six Sigma Design, Quality Control and Early
Supplier Involvement. Dwight became the in-house expert on design tools
including ComputerVision, Unigraphics and ProENGINEER and integrated early
prototyping processes in Stereolithography and part sintering. His contributions
were instrumental in bridging the gap between Industrial Design and Product
Design by creating techniques that allowed for a smooth and accurate transition
from artistic 2D concept to 3D solid model. While developing numerous
paging products, he also gained expertise in waterproofing techniques
and ruggedization.
After leaving Motorola, Dwight became a consulting engineer
and eventually VP, Mechanical Engineering for a communications company
formed to develop a family of GPS and cellular technology personal security
products. A total of five products were developed; three for the AMPS
communication network and two for digital networks. The product applications
included asset tracking, hand held personal security and vehicle mounted
telematics.
As a Consulting Engineer and President of Brooks Technical
Solutions, Inc., Dwight has worked on a variety of consumer and industrial
products including a refrigerant reclamation machine that was recognized
as being a unique approach for improved airflow, handling and cord storage
as well as a distinctive product appearance. Other products include a
pet toy, Personal Digital Assistant, a medical device, unmanned drone
submarine, Freon gas detector and a small personal security device all designed using Solidworks. Most
of the products continue to be produced and are in service today.
