`ANTHONY J. SENN, PE
`
` EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
`
`Mr. Senn (Tony) is an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer with work
`experience in a wide variety of fields. He is an expert in the design of
`mechanical assemblies and machinery, with a diverse background in materials
`and manufacturing methods. He is also skilled in multiple CAD and 3-D
`design software platforms, finite element analysis and CAM software. These
`skills allow Tony to produce unique solutions that not only solve the design
`problem, but are often ready for manufacture.
`
`Inventure Engineering, LLC: Boise, ID
`
`Mr. Senn Is the Owner and President of Inventure Engineering, LLC (IE). At
`IE, Mr. Senn has specialized in new product development and traditional
`machine design. Consulting primarily with inventors and smaller companies,
`their initial concepts are optimized using modern 3-D design software,
`traditional engineering and actual prototype creation, with some projects
`running through production in our in house machine shop. Inventor projects
`include: an adjustable rifle stock, inflatable tent, security gun holster,
`children’s educational toys, portable oxygen generator, and numerous others.
`Mr. Senn consults in manufacturing, fixture/tooling design and has many
`years’ experience in digital scanning and semiconductor equipment designs.
`Mr. Senn’s additional responsibilities include running a full CNC machine
`shop, managing business affairs, intellectual property protection,
`sales/marketing, bookkeeping, purchasing and materials procurement, etc.
`Prototyping experience includes machining (CNC and manual lathe and
`milling machines), welding (gas, MIG, TIG, plastic, solvent), and fabrication
`using a variety of plastics and metals. The combination of Mr. Senn’s formal
`education, practical manufacturing skills, and many years’ experience on a
`large variety of projects, has created a desirable individual.
`
`POWER Engineers: Boise, ID
`
`Mr. Senn worked as a senior engineer responsible for project management and
`mechanical engineering activities with a large consulting engineering firm.
`Hired to help create and grow a semiconductor consulting division, his
`responsibilities range from locating and bidding prospective jobs, through
`design, build and startup at the client’s facility. Notable accomplishments
`include a $500k single wafer spin cell project for a large semiconductor OEM
`and planning/bidding: hydroelectric plant control update, gas turbine ‘peak
`demand’ power plants and facilities control systems. Tony was also
`responsible for managing an engineering team at a client’s facility while
`leading a large design and eventual installation project.

`
`
`Tactical Design Labs: Boise, ID
`Mr. Senn was the Vice President in charge of product development, intellectual
`property, and facilities for a start-up company focused on improving tactical
`equipment for law enforcement and military. His was responsible for
`managing state of the art holster development projects from concept sketches
`through tooling and manufacturing. Duties include project
`planning/scheduling, specification development, employee management,
`supplier selection/interface, purchasing, machine shop oversight, component
`and assembly testing, assembly process development, reliability, quality
`assurance and management of intellectual property portfolio. Technical
`activities involve design for injection molding and assembly, FMEA, solid
`modeling, FEA, part count optimization, traditional/CNC machining, strength
`of materials and change control management. Led by Tony, and combining
`traditional engineering skills with hands on management philosophy, the
`technical team achieved synergistic output while enjoying the daily activities.
`
`SCP Global Technologies: Boise, ID
`Mr. Senn was the technical team leader of complex automation and mechanical
`design projects in parallel with solo design work relative to large scale
`semiconductor equipment manufacturing. He successfully managed and
`implemented projects to include: innovative concept generation, planning,
`scheduling, vendor evaluation, sub-contractor management, formal
`presentations, employee supervision and on time deadline completion. His
`technical strengths include: traditional engineering, finite element analysis,
`reliability engineering, fluid handling systems, chemical compatibility, airflow
`management, plastic part design, manufacturing engineering, design for
`injection molding and machine automation.
`
`Healthtek Inc: Auburn, CA
`Mr. Senn managed all technical aspects of high volume / low yield, disposable,
`medical product manufacturing. Placed in charge of plant operations and
`technical employees, he was faced with a management position where all team
`members were 15+ years his senior. This required Tony to establish essential
`management skills, develop a rapport with the employees, and allowed them to
`work as a team. Tony was quick to accept the challenges of: plant layout,
`tooling design, fabrication, prototyping, and machine rebuild adding PLCs, as
`well as new product R&D. Related tasks involved reliability testing, part
`design for injection molding, ultrasonic and RF welding, electrical,
`pneumatics, metal welding, and traditional machining practices.
`
`NEC Electronics: Roseville, CA
`At NEC, Tony was responsible to maintain and improve high volume,
`semiconductor manufacturing assembly processes. He successfully created
`and managed yield improvement projects to include: operator training, tool and
`component selection, product flow design, specification writing, preventive
`maintenance programs, fixture development, and many other facets of
`assembling semiconductors. Significant contributions included reducing pre-
`saw wafer breakage by half and demonstrating 100% machine up time during
`an entire quarter, saving an estimated $750k in less than one year.
