• Engaged in sales and marketing activities such as user conferences, sales kick-off meetings, and seminars.

• Developed and executed training arrangements in collaborations with Training and Sales teams.

• Authored and coauthored many detailed specification and application notes for Lorentz Solution products.

• Heavily participated in committees for product definition, cost managements, and press release planning.

• Designed and debugged different RF and Microwave Circuits to meet customer needs (VCO, LNA, and PLL).

Research and Teaching Assistant: Utah State University, Logan, UT, USA. 2008 – 2010

• Analyzed, designed, fabricated, and tested cavity backed slot antennas at S and C bands.

• Calibrated Near field antenna range using (NSI series 200).

• Designed a 60 GHz patch antenna and a waveguide to microstrip transition section for WPAN application.

• Designed a frequency and polarization reconfigurable antenna operating at both UWB and Bluetooth range.

• Developed Finite Element code and integrated it with Comsol to study scattering from a general cylinder.

• Taught undergraduate Electromagnetics I, Antennas I, and Electromagnetic laboratories.

Research Intern: University of Missouri, Kansans City, MO, USA. Summer 2007

• Improved the bandwidth performance of patch antennas using a novel trough slots technique.
