I work with current and potential customers to provide guidance and assistance with NI/AWR's CAD software in modelling their advanced Microwave & RF circuit and system designs. The role requires in-depth understanding of passive and active circuits, design flows, and the capabilities of linear, nonlinear, EM simulation, and system simulation tools. My 30 years working in many disciplines of RF & Microwave design, plus programming experience, allow me to understand what our customers are trying to accomplish, the techniques they are using, and how to best exploit the software to produce accurate simulations and reduce re-work and time-to market.

Development, design and manufacture of RF & Microwave wireless video, audio and data communications for law enforcement, military, Homeland Security and seaports. Technical and Project Management of multidisciplinary product engineering teams, developing RF and microwave communication links for video and audio, using both analog and advanced digital modulations, in an ISO 9001 framework.Management and execution of manufacturing transition between sister company sitesSome major accomplishments: ---------------------------------------------- Miniature (2 cu in) COFDM Video Microwave Digital Transmitter (L, S and C –Band versions); chosen as a key component of the US Army’s VOSS system from Lockheed Martin Gyrocam Systems, and supplied in quantities yielding multi-$m revenue.- small FM audio surveillance transmitter with integrated recorder. Superior in performance to any other similar contemporary device

Development of high-performance RF link system products, mainly full-bandwidth digital audio and remote equipment switching, for the law enforcement surveillance market.* Project Management, including sponsor/customer liaison. * Design and debug of digital, analog, RF & mixed-signal hardware* Authoring and debug of microcontroller firmware (C & Assembler).* Proposal development.Some major accomplishments: ---------------------------------------------- miniature FPGA-based 100mW VHF/UHF Digital Full-Bandwidth-Audio Surveillance Transmitter.- miniature RF-controlled remote switch Receiver, including transmitter control capability.- Upgrade & miniaturization of VHF/UHF digital FM receiver, integrating manual control & LCD display.- sophisticated UHF command transmitter and its switch receiver

Principal investigator in DoD and NSF-funded programs, designing, developing & testing hardware for new radar-based avian monitoring technologiesDevelopment of engineering technical proposals, including project planning and budgeting

Complete re-write of assembler firmware for TI TMS370 μC in a networked display panel used in arrays for Utility control rooms. Instruction execution speed was increased dramatically, no bugs reported as of end fall 2006

Design and manufacture of custom electronic systems to support avian biological research and surveillance activities. Particular emphasis on 1) enhancement of radio tracking capabilities (e.g. unmanned data collection), and 2) development of custom integrated remote covert intruder detection/video monitoring systems.
