Certified Professionals

I’m a FAE in charge of advanced static control products and services at Winifred cleanroom & ESD products (HK) Ltd. After working with micro contamination control for years, I have accumulated quite practical protection experiences on ESD and ESA control. It has always been my goal to work with advanced electronics manufacturers in China to establish ESD control awareness, conduct measurements and set up reliable protections. To do this, I am enjoying learning and sharing my professional knowledge with them.

Outside of work, I like to spend more time with my family. Basketball and fishing are both my hobbies.

Shane Burns originally pursued a career in teaching History and English but took a different direction when he was hired by EFE Labs in 2010 and acquired his Engineering Technology degree.  Shane’s responsibilities included quality control, process design, circuit design, and lean manufacturing of electronic assemblies.  Shane learned hands-on about electrostatic discharge (ESD) as a source of failures in electronic assemblies and how to mitigate it. 

In 2016, Shane joined Electro-Tech Systems, www.electrotechsystems.com,  as Lead Lab Technician.  Shane excelled in learning more about ESD phenomenon and testing under the guidance of industry veteran and pioneer, Stan Weitz.  Today, as Test Lab Manager, Shane now oversees the world class ETS Testing Center in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, performing ESD testing, material analysis, teaching, and consulting.  Shane continues to pursue his quest for knowledge about electrical and electrostatic phenomena via his studies at Penn State, ESDA certifications, and active involvement in ESDA committee efforts.

I am the ESD Coordinator at Digi-Key Electronics. I started as a Technical Support Specialist in 2004 and in 2009 my main focus shifted to create a certified ESD program at Digi-Key. Currently I maintain Digi-Key’s Certified ESD Program. I have been a member of the ESD Association since 2010 and I am currently a member of various working groups.

I graduated from Bismarck State College, Bismarck ND, in 2004 with an AAS in Electronics/Telecommunications Technology.
