Engineer Project

OBJECTIVE:

Engineering position in the research and development Microwave/RF Systems and sub-systems where experience and capabilities of microwave, analog, and digital design can be utilized to produce new and innovative products.

SKILLS:

• MS OFFICE • MOMENTUM • ACAD • VISIO • GENESYS • ADS

• PADS • WEAFIL • VHDL • MS PROJECT • SYS-CALC

• LAB VIEW • HiRel space • MIL-STD (883 and others)

SUMMARY:

Extensive experience in design of HiRel, Military and Commercial microwave systems, sub-systems, and automated test equipment. Skilled in creative solutions to challenging problems utilizing microwave and digital (FPGA, CPLD, and microcontrollers) techniques. As lead engineer my responsibility is to take a project from concept thought production. This includes selecting the best technology for the project custom MMIC, chip and wire hybrid, and surface mount PWB or any combination. Design to meet RF performance, size, weight, temperature, vibration, EMC\EMI, and along with other requirements. Build and test prototype for all requirements this incudes design of special test fixtures and automated test equipment. Support production in the development processes and procedures.

EMPLOYMENT:

Crane Electronics, Chandler, Arizona 2006– Jan 2016

Quotation of microwave synthesizers, converter, and amplifiers subsystems.

Design of microwave low phase noise sources, low residual phase noise amplifiers, low residual phase noise converters, multi-function assemblies and switched filter assemblies.

Redesign of microwave subsystems for replacement of obsolete parts.

Design and sustaining engineer for the mixer, detector, limiter product line.

CONSULTING (STC Microwave Systems, Chandler, Arizona) 2004 – 2006

Quotation of microwave synthesizers, converter, and amplifiers subsystems.

Design of microwave amplifiers and switched filter assemblies.

Redesign of microwave subsystems for replacement of obsolete parts.

SIGNAL TECHNOLOGY, Sunnyvale, California 1996 – 2002

Responsible for design of control sections and overall assembly requirements for multiple HiRel space qualified multifunction assemblies. Requiring extensive end of life and worse case analysis leading to successful shipments to customers.

Project Engineer for development of low cost 3.5 GHz Outdoor Subscriber Unit. Was able to achieve this with the use of printed filters and surface mount components achieving a 30 % reduction of material cost over the initial design.

As Project Engineer led seven other engineers and designers in the development of 15 GHz Transceiver for high capacity point to point radio. Meeting customer, ETSI, and FCC specifications, and delivering preproduction units in 2 months. Along with developing 11 GHz and 13 GHz transceivers.

Assumed responsibility as Project Engineer for development of an instantaneous frequency measurement receiver. Overcoming performance issues by using innovative digital correction, and real time tuning of limiting amplifier for flatness and harmonic performance. Resulting in successful flight test of customer’s system.
