PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

MOTOROLA INC. (MOT), Plantation, FL 2000 - 2012

Global designer, distributor, manufacturer and provider of solutions in

broadband communications infrastructure, enterprise mobility and public

safety solutions to high-definition video and mobile devices, sales of

$26B.

Electrical/RF Design Engineer

Performed on-site electrical engineering for Motorola Inc. Managed

development and testing of all major cell phones devices that were shipped

out by the company. Responsible for testing, providing data, utility and

equipment installation, engineering reviews section and coordinated

information or technology transfers. Resolved various and diverse issues

relating to both product and manufacturing process.

. Coordinated test implementation, troubleshooting, and fixed product

issues on Motorola wireless mobile devices.

. Performed EMI (Radio Frequency Interference) Test Verification for

iDEN, GSM, LTE and UMTS handsets under static and free space

conditions with applicable solutions.

. Designed new electrical grounding system, which minimized risks, met

compliance issues, and reduced product delay for iDEN, 2G, UMTS and 3G

technologies

. Improved UMTS Bands 1, 2, and 4 impedance matching on the receiver

line up

. Successfully communicated and reported test procedures, verification,

and implemented fixes for multiple projects such as Iron Rock,

DiamondBack, Jorian radios to other groups

. Assessed, analyzed and identified existing gaps and engineering

problems, discussed findings with Project Manager, and worked closely

with other groups, minimizing project delays.

. Part of development team for product implementation. Responsible for:

Frequency Generation for iDEN including Phase noise reduction,

receiver adjacent channel noise reduction, suppressing interference to

/ from CDMA / UMTS circuitry and optimizing dual functionality of iDEN

with CDMA or UMTS at sub circuit level.

. Worked with mechanical team to implement a metal bootstrap on top of

the VCO shield to reduce EMI interference to RF antenna, which helped

save money for overall project design and reduced shipment time of

phone. Received Bravo award for fixing the problem in a timely manner

and shipping the product on time.

CURL BAPTISTE 2.

. Electrical lead for Iron Rock GPS UMTS program: Electrical lead for

Iron Rock program starting from concept to ship acceptance, where team

was able to meet ship date before time, thus saving company millions

of dollar.

. Engineer and analyzer for all iDEN specialty products:

Responsibilities included management and test of all electrical and RF

testing for Transmitter, Receiver, Antenna, GPS, and Power management

lineup for FCC and ship acceptance qualification for all iDEN NASCAR

and Boost mobile products

. Traveled Internationally and Domestically to manage and train

different depots to set up repair, testing, troubleshooting and

assemble facility for iDEN Motorola phones

. Performed extensive testing on UMTS / iDEN GPS and GLONASS devices.

. Assisted in troubleshooting any issues involving vendor parts used on

Motorola products, such as Integated Circuits (IC), Operational

Amplifier and Switch.

. Work closely with both Software / Mechanical groups ensuring product

functionality worked according to customer requests.

EDUCATION

Bachelor of Science (BS), Electrical Engineering, Florida Atlantic

University, Boca Raton, FL 2009

Associate of Arts (AA), Engineering, Palm Beach Community College, Boca

Raton, FL 2007

Electronic Technology Certificate, Atlantic Vocational Technical Center, FL

ED2 (Engineering Design 2): Built Aeroponics autonomous System. Focus was

power section, responsibilities in design was to build PH monitoring

system, which check concentration of nutrients and other chemicals supplied

to plants. Ensure light system was able to deliver enough light to plants

while being controlled autonomously and making sure enough power was

available to microcontroller, sensors, H-bridges, and DC motors from time

seeds were placed in soil to growth of plant.

ED 1 (Engineering Design 1): Designed and controlled remote controlled

vehicle to go through track and shoot tennis balls through basketball hoop

at set distance. My task in design was to make sure the vehicle electrical

circuitry would work properly with the integrated wireless remote control

by the basic stamp microcontroller. I had to make sure that the sensor used

for navigation through the course was working properly to complete the task

and there was enough power generated by the motor to shoot the tennis balls

over a distance. The vehicle was able to stop at the designated area of the

course and was successful in releasing the balls to the target location

with a 55% of accuracy.
