Prior to that he was a member of the Legal Department of the Hewlett-Packard Company where he performed similar duties with additional responsibilities for managing the outsourcing of preparation & prosecution of patent applications including the review of outside counsel work product.
Dr. Tobey also had extensive management and engineering experience while with Hewlett-Packard. He managed engineers, administrative personnel, and others. He was responsible for the development of and improvement of microelectronic processes, engineering tests and controls, as well as the control and improvement of quality, yield, through-put, production capacity, equipment up-time, and employee related issues. As an engineer he had extensive experience in NMOS integrated circuit process development and control, design of integrated circuits, research into and design of MOS and other solid state devices, and software system design and associated software programming. He completed a four month intensive Computer Systems and Software course developed for Hewlett-Packard and designed to be equivalent to a Master's Degree in Computer Science. He also worked for the General Dynamics Corporation where he developed, designed, and analyzed structural radar absorbing material systems for military aircraft.
Dr. Tobey was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle where he taught undergraduate and graduate courses in solid state devices and integrated circuits, as well as performing research in solid state device physics. He was also on active duty for two years in the United States Army, where he held the rank of Captain and was the Military Liaison to the Engineering Office for the Sheridan Weapons System. In this capacity, he directed and coordinated engineering tests and design improvements for various subsystems of the Sheridan Weapons System.
