- Circuit design- Firmware updates for new features and improvements (in C)- Circuit board layout using Altium

- Designed and development node hardware for a distributed system using CAN bus for communications. - Wrote embedded code (C and C++) used to test node hardware. - Developed PC-based tool for testing system through the CAN bus (GUI application using the Python language and the wxPython GUI toolkit).- Performed initial research into computer vision techniques. Developed a method which formed that foundation of a patent application. - Designed and implemented software for data recording of ADC samples from embedded system providing needed tools to facilitate algorithm research. Code was done in C on embedded board and PC. - Designed and implemented cabling, electronics, and Labview code for automated motion test system bringing new research capability to the lab. - Redesigned embedded board for expanded memory and additional IO.Solved end of life issues on a variety of components. - Provided electrical design and support on a prototype kiosk.

· Designed and developed synthesizer section for GSM picocell base station; design was produced under a very accelerated schedule and required very little modification during extensive verification testing of the picocell in preparation for production · Designed and developed receive section of a prototype UMTS/WCDMA transceiver on short schedule in order to recover from failure of an integrated solution from a vendor; meticulous design work quickly produced functional hardware facilitating development of firmware and software in a timely fashion · Designed and developed transmit chain for production oriented UMTS/WCDMA transceiver, producing a functional transmit chain on the first prototype; early identification of issues allowed alternate power amp selection and cost negotiation resulting in quick realization of a design change path for yielding excellent distortion performance without excessive overall cost increase · Conducted extensive testing of GSM and UMTS radios against ETSI and 3GPP specifications, resulting in an extensively verified design. · Wrote test reports and design documentation · ISO9000 exposure

· Designed 5GHz and 2GHz receivers for wireless communications research, functional hardware delivered to customer with extensive user manuals and documentation. · Designed phaselock loop for phase noise measurement test system, achieving functional lock circuit adaptable to automated fast measurements · Designed synthesizers for 5GHz and 2GHz triple conversion receivers and transmitters · Designed anti alias and reconstruction filters for digital IF based receivers and transmitters · Wrote test automation software using C, C++, and Excel VBA code to control instruments through GPIB and digital I/O cards, resulting in increased testing speed and accelerated development · Conducted experiments in techniques for phase noise improvements in synthesizers

· Designed a very small offline switching power supply including custom magnetics, delivering a functional design for production in hybrid form · Designed RF filters in the VHF range. · Designed a phase-locked loop for data clock recovery. · Designed intricate mechanical components to package hybrid microelectronics. · Designed fixtures and wrote CNC code and process documentation for production machining operations. · Designed several printed circuit boards using Accel.

· Wrote test software in C for testing code in IBM AS/400 storage subsystems.

· Performed testing of communications subsystem code for the X.25 protocol on IBM's AS/400.
