• Worked with senior design team members to design and build differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) modem (transmitter and receiver) and interface it with an existing off-the-shelf wireless transreceiver. Documented.
• Resolved error on receiver output by replacing problematic serial parts with a different part that was functionally equivalent and compensated for propagation delays. Resolved all receiver output errors.
• Worked with group to create unconventional solution following accidental destruction of circuit block. Developed method using different component (easier to implement, used fewer components, and cost less).

Highland Heights, OH

• Brought on board to engage in a type of testing that had not completed in several years within Philips. Tested various-sized transistors for flicker noise to obtain mathematical coefficients for use in simulations of.
• Identified previously unknown external influence on test results (cellular phones), enabling control of variable to prevent negative effect on tests. Improved data accuracy and avoided need to repeat tests.
• Created presentation that detailed testing methodology and physical setup. Compiled all data plots for each type of transistor tested; continually updated presentation sent to supervisor and other collaborators weekly..
• Devised wiring harness to replace test board that picked up external interference which affected test results negatively. Utilized suggestions from collaborator to improve wiring harness set-up. Generated excellent.

• Facilitated 50+% growth in Genius team headcount over a 4-month period by managing appointment queues effectively against number of in-store repairs performed daily, freeing up ability to take more appointments.
• Contributed to 100% accuracy in 2 consecutive storewide inventory counts for service parts, resolving prior issues with service part inventory inaccuracy. Revamped process for obtaining parts and partnered with the.
• Maintained high level of customer satisfaction, including specific customer whose repair work was delayed on a business-critical computer (and who provided positive feedback through the customer feedback system).
