EXPERIENCE

Director and Manager of Test Engineering, RF Power Amplifier

6/04 to 4/10

ANDREW CORPORATION, Columbus, Ohio

Managed all aspects of complete product life cycle: design and development;

pilot and early production; volume production; installed base support.

. Set performance objectives for the department and direct reports.

Established and enforced division-wide standards, processes and

procedures for test engineering functions. Is responsible for hiring

and training employees; appraising performance; rewarding and

disciplining employees; addressing complaints and resolving problems.

. Directed and managed development activities to provide automated test

solutions to assist design verifications and NPI model builds.

Maximized productivity and efficiency and improve on-time delivery

through sharing knowledge and resources among the test engineers at

all development sites in US, China, France and Italy. Assisted other

organizations in the field-return FMA and repairs.

. Directed on-site and off-site sustaining test engineers in U.S. and

China towards meeting key performance manufacturing goals and

objectives. These include on-time delivery of test capabilities and

capacities at the NPI center and all contract manufacturing sites and

continuous test yield and quality improvement.

. Directed or oversaw the development of various web-based applications

to assist design, test and quality engineers in analyzing production

test data, streamline test software change and asset tracking

processes.

. Developed and managed the budget and capital plan for development and

production tests (annual budget of $6M in expense and $2M in capital.

Managed $10M capital assets). Identified and implemented efficiency

and cost cutting measures that will improve ROI.

Sr. Test Development Engineer

5/03 to 6/04

ANDREW CORPORATION, Columbus, Ohio

. Developed the automated tests in Visual Basis for testing amplifier

transceiver. Assisted the design verification testing of the

LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES, Columbus, Ohio

. Led a team in developing and supporting common test management

software and tools (using C/C++, National Instruments LabWindows CVI,

LabView and TestStand) for Lucent wireless manufacturing and product

development. Managed the team activities to identify key projects,

explore new technological concepts and new software tools, and collect

requirements, set development direction and schedule, and review

project status.

. Worked closely with hardware platform development team in developing

the radio, amplifier and system platform test systems. Actively

involved in test data collection and analyses, EMC and EST compliance

testing of the products.

. Took initiatives to build cross-organization and cross-location task

teams and led the efforts to standardize processes for system testing,

test repair data collection, test program configurations, test

software deployment and version control to achieve the goal of design-

anywhere-manufacture-anywhere (DAMA).

. Developed partnerships with National Instruments TestStand and IVI

(Interchangeable Virtual Instrument Driver) development teams to

benefit Lucent in its software tool requirements for the manufacturing

test.

. Worked in China to set up a CDMA base-station manufacturing factory,

including hiring and training of new engineers, transferring and

setting up assembly lines and test equipment. Actively involved in

budgeting and procuring capitals, planning production, setting up

quality system and localizing the products.
