Abstract: 

Biography: 

Cameron Shearon is a Principal Materials Engineer with Raytheon Missile & Defense. He is the lead for Destructive Physical Analysis and Commercial Services Business. Prior to his current role he was the owner of Shearon-Consulting, and a SMTA Distinguished Speaker. Cameron has given invited speeches at many international events. He earned a BS and MS in Materials Science and Engineering from North Carolina State University. He obtained a Physics minor for his BS and a Solid State Science minor for his MS. Cameron initiated and co-chairs IPC 1782, a global component traceability standard, which has been adopted by the US Department of Defense, that contains four traceability levels for materials and four independent traceability levels for the process that was completed in record time with the help of many outstanding contributors, IPC Staff support, and his leadership. As a result of his contribution to this standard, Cameron received a Committee Leadership Award from IPC at IPC APEX EXPO 2017. He has also worked as a Process Engineer in a Wafer Fab, as well as, a Failure Analysis Engineer, and Product Safety Engineer in an R&D Environment, a Lead Quality Engineer with AT&T’s Global Supply Chain, and a Reliability Engineer with AT&T Labs. ETSI adopted and published his contribution in early 2016, which established the fundamental foundation for his current work of developing a standard portfolio of very granular in situ custom probe level metrics, as well as, an expandable & extendable framework for those metrics along with an associated governance structure for the new global software-defined telecommunications networks that can be used by Big Data groups among others to help make everyday decisions. Cameron chaired the Multi-Standard Development Organization (SDO) metric effort for TM Forum and includes members from ETSI, NIST, and QuEST Forum. In addition, he chaired the NFV Metric Landscape effort for Quest Forum. Cameron has participated as a member in a multiple-phase TM Catalyst project that has won several awards (e.g., Best Technical Contribution, Best In Show).
