Lake Forest, California

Hands-on engineering role with antenna systems for satellite communication. Strong focus on aeronautical, maritime, and other communication on the move antennas and modems. Work includes system integration, testing, automation, and operational monitoring. Experience with mechanically steered flat panel, parabolic, and electronically steered phased array antennas. Day-to-day roles include RF analysis of systems, script development for data analysis, design feedback for satellite system requirements, collaboration with multiple departments for product development, and practical problem solving for unique issues that arise for aeronautical environments (temperature, motion, regulatory, etc.).

Irvine, California

Worked with automated test equipment (ATE) to develop test programs used for product testing and characterization on the Teradyne UltraFlex ATE platform. The job involved a large collaborative effort between design, product and planning engineers, marketing, hardware vendors, and over-seas test houses in order to deliver millions of working System on Chips (SoCs) to customers in a timely manner. Personal focus on testing and characterization of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and RF front ends.
