I have been employed by the same business unit that transitioned from company to company due to acquisitions but as the companies grew smaller my responsibilities grew larger. As the only switch mechanical engineer at Com Dev USA I had one job title but a variety of roles:• Team Lead: manage technicians and product flow on switch and L-Band diplexer programs.• Engineer: review customer requirements, contribute mechanical portion to design proposals, write test and assembly procedures, set up cleanroom for switch production including ESD stations, review data, resolve anomalies• Project Manager: served as program manager for a small (~$200k) switch pack program

Primary role was as switch mechanical engineer but also served as the project engineer on the UHF Omux program certifying the weld vendor, verifying welds on hermetically-sealed assemblies, and overseeing environmental testing.

Primary role was as switch mechanical engineer. During this era the core of the business unit switch product line was established including a coaxial SMA T-switch and waveguide switches from WR15 to WR229 as well as improvements to the coaxial SPDT and transfer switches.
