Test technician supporting engineering in the enhancement of wireless communication in the DC subway system

• Provided technical guidance to customers with antenna application issues such as area coverage, in-building coverage, power level, and position of antennas, improving communication over a network.• Guided customers in purchasing suitable antennas, filters, cable, and tower-mounted amplifiers (TMAs), which generated sales.• Designed UHF/VHF filter systems for customers, which prevented base station degradation and interference at customers' antenna sites, and promoted product sales.• Developed and implemented a new hire training plan for application engineers in providing technical support, which improved the on-boarding process and thereby increased the speed to productivity.• Provided direct customer support, instructing tower crews at cell sites on effective resolutions of issues with remote electrical tilt products on base station antennas. Awarded for customer technical support.

• Provided engineering support and oversight for the manufacture of RF filters, multicouplers, TMAs, and duplexers, documenting product specifications and correcting engineering drawings.• Developed a new software program for calibrating test equipment, which improved the testing process of filters in production.

• Maintained and enhanced RF propagation software (FORTRAN) for frequency allocation, area coverage, and antenna specifications, supporting the engineering staff. • Optimized propagation software, resulting in a 30% reduction in computer run time and faster turn around on engineering projects.
