RMV Technology Group, LLC actively partners with university programs in in support the Community Educational Outreach for professional development courses in the USA and abroad. Our technology leaders in teaching on the university level include Bob Vermillion, Doug Smith, Elya Joffe, Matt Aldissi, PhD, Rob Drought and specially invited speakers to our newly expanded NASA-Ames Research Center laboratory environment and at recognized universities. By keeping costs lower than in the private sector, RMV staff can offer quality educational development to the recently unemployed as well as active and reserve military to strengthen existing skills as well as adding to one's knowledge base for ISO educational requirements or for support in seeking a more technical and challenging employment relationship. RMV allocates our free time and resources by providing the most current and technologically advanced training for quality, manufacturing, materials, packaging, process, design and production engineers through our collaborative efforts with California Polytechnic University, Clemson University, Oxford University and through public seminars at reduced rates in comparison to other companies) that includes the engineering, scientific and research communities.

NASA-Ames Design Troubleshooting for the Lab and Field
"This single day course can be the best insurance your company can buy against the consequences of a design problem." - Doug Smith, Guest Lecturer
What students are saying about these courses
"Excellent, Practical and Relevant."
- Rob Walsh, Hewlett Packard
"The use of experimentation and examples of problems found in industry is excellent."
- Peter Lugg, Hewlett Packard
"Good insight into the techniques to find problems and what to avoid doing."
- Rob Gatward, Avaya ECS Ltd
"Bob's anecdotes and 'war stories' add a nice practical aspect to the discussion. The live demonstrations in addition to the real-world examples further enhances the practical application nature of the seminar content."
- Boeing Corporation
"Strong Hands On Approach to ESD Effects, Methods to counter ESD effects and good interaction with Attendee's questions. Learning from similar experiences of others is helpful."
- Teledyne Corporation
Read what Don MacArthur, Compliance Engineer at General Dynamics Itronix
Corporation says about Doug Smith’s courses:
“I was a member of a large manufacturer's EMC test facility and we were experiencing
failures for which I felt our sole trouble-shooting method consisted of educated guess
work and trial and error methods.
I felt there had to be a better and simple way of knowing and seeing what interactions
were taking place so that we could pin down the real issues and hence more quickly fix
the problems.
What I learned in Doug Smith's class opened my eyes to the
many real world troubleshooting tools one could use to
quickly identify and fix EMI and Signal Integrity problems.
As soon as I got back from his class I began teaching other
engineers and technicians the tools I learned.
I held a short 1-hour class one day and about 2 hours later
we applied what I had taught in the class to a RFI problem.
The tool helped us quickly identify a susceptible IC on a board and then also prove out a
fix.
Granted, the tools are not going to be able to help with every situation and sometimes
using educated engineering guesswork is in fact quicker.
Knowing both could save you valuable time and prevent you from being at work on
nights and weekends trying to fix a problem so product can ship on-time.
I highly recommend anyone involved in EMC testing/troubleshooting and Signal Integrity
not only attend Doug Smith's class but also pick up his book on High Frequency
Measurements and spend considerable time reading it.
I've read the book a couple times myself. The concepts really began to make sense after
I attended the class. The class and the book are chock full of practical high frequency
troubleshooting techniques.
I appreciate that Doug keeps the math simple and down to earth in his seminars and
book.
Unlike other seminars or classes I've taken, Doug does not try to impress you with his
math skills. He knows the math, but also knows that you don't need it in order to utilize
the tools.
Take the class - you will not regret it. It's the best thing I ever did.”
