Telecommunications and Networking R&D; Performed under minimal direction, had flexibility to adapt to change and provided technical product support (e.g. maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, calibration and upgrades) for the mission critical customer wireless communication product portfolio. Installed software and firmware on electronic systems and repaired circuit board assemblies down to 201 component size, and 0.015 FPGA ASIC pitch. Assembled, built, and modified test sets and design test fixtures and participated in LGS field trials and off-site testing. Used Government Property Management (GPM) systems and procedures to accept, ship, and track all equipment coming into and leaving LGS facilities including all R&D equipment calibration and repairs. Utilized wireless protocols CDMA, UMTS, GSM and LTE on a Software Defined Radio (SDR) for fixed and mobile communications between a base station and cell phone. Utilized power measurements, spectrum and S-Parameters during testing. Tested frequency ranges from 400MHz through 6GHz in equipment, cabling, and products. Programmed in National Instruments LabView software (have 12 years' experience).

Fremont, Ca, Us

Direct R&D experience affecting Production doing industrial automation testing using LabView, Matlab and C software for 18 years of Hard Disc Drive product development and factory line support showing product improvement in both cost and performance before writing engineering change order for Product Line commodity implementation. Showed versatility in the following R&D departments; Mechanical, Servo, Read-Write Head Channel and Failure Analysis. Automated engineering tests for design and development for gauge capable metrics using Six Sigma data. The results of the engineering automation allowed Seagate to dominate and become 1 of only 2 US companies making disk drives in the US.Use Mentor Graphics for schematic, BOMs and layout of printed circuit boards. Designed unique software solutions using LabView 2015 and MATLAB software to control the systems and test units, then post processed the data for publication and presentation. Set up independent operations, built, and delivered finished products and training to engineering and production personnel. Received two letters of commendation and spot award recognition for my efforts during my career. The first citation was from the Director of Mechanical R&D in 2003, for laboratories under my control for program support. The second citation, from the Director of Recording Heads and Subsystems in 2011, was for tribal charging of heads. Led and mentored multiple departments and on-site customer training.
