Research & development of CUAS systems, i.e., drone detection & disablement systems.Responsibilities/contributions: system architecture definition, antenna/receiver design, counter-measures definition & design, patents, mentorship, and project planning, management, & execution.

R&D consulting and engineering services including:• R&D of CUAS systems including system architecture and receiver design.• Military mobile ad-hoc communication system research. Investigated the state of the art of the technology including SW and HW issues yet to be resolved, technology boot strapping options, and outlined an engineering organization for follow-on research & development.• Trading platform study development- Example: used machine learning techniques to reverse engineer the equations of a proprietary daily futures trading study. Then, developed a method and the software to produce an importable daily study for all 80 futures available on the platform in 3 minutes or less. Previous (manual) method required 5-10 minutes per future of interest and was susceptible to human error.• Technical due diligence analysis on next generation technology related to commercial airline Air-to-Ground communications technology. Reviewed target IP and provided an industry overview.• NFC research. Researched and designed an antenna and test bed for an NFC smart card system; produced associated project plan/schedule for follow-on work.

Managed a global team of 60-70 engineers developing IC development platforms and cellular handset reference designs to develop and validate the IC chipsets, to promote chipset selection, and to accelerate customer handset implementation. experience & accomplishments:• implemented new processes and documents to improve schedule, quality, and cost.• achieved 50% cost reduction in development platforms in first year• received the Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff Award for Managers• developed Freescale's first form factor handset reference design for development and demo.

Managed teams defining and developing custom cellphone baseband ASICs and the associated handset system hardware & software.Originally hired to staff & lead a development team to define & develop hardware development platforms. Responsibility expanded to include management of IC Design, IC Mfg, MAC/PHY Software, and System Validation teams (~ 60 engineers total ).experience & accomplishments:• Managed Hardware, IC, MAC/PHY, and System Validation engineering teams • Contributed to the definition of the ASICs, analog IP, and PHY architectures• Established & managed a design center in Atlanta; managed a remote team in Chicago• Collaborated with international partners in product development • Provided mentoring, training, and guidance to employees, partners, and customers• Participated in sales, business strategy, BoD, & acquisition/due diligence meetings

Contributed to the definition & development of a proprietary (pre-WiFi) voice+data system.Hired in as Member, Technical Staff. Promoted to Sr. Member, Technical Staff one year later and assigned to manage a newly formed System Architecture Group for the 2nd Gen system.experience & accomplishments:• managed the System Architecture Group comprised of Sr. Technical Staff & the ASIC team• defined & developed adaptive interference detection/avoidance schemes • researched aspects of a Layered Space Time MIMO system including propagation and mathematical proof development regarding optimal antenna selection/combination.• defined and led the RF team in the design of the 1st generation system RF hardware.• assisted the MAC/PHY team in optimizing the 1st generation system MAC/PHY air interface
