Managed all electronics, embedded software and mechanics for custom products built around custom satellite transceivers. Directed projects from industrial design and concept phase to proposal and contract acquisition and projects from requirements development through design, test and low-rate production. Oversaw all aspects of product development and product management from initial concept, proposals, development, launch, production, and product retirement. Led team to foster new technology introduction along with constant process improvements.• Managed RFIC development including multi waveforms for receive and transmit. Established own group inside though the corporation decided to eliminate them, went to a third party to reestablish group. Created an external group to replace internal group without license fees.• Managed group of developers around custom products including mechanical engineers and low-rate production producing 20 units with unique plastics.• Saved 15% in production savings by managing group to hit goals including production and cost targets.• Created unique architecture framework for new product development that reused transceiver and became standardized and improved all products.• Listened to actual needs of customer and engineers, developing products including extra features that met customers’ needs and was created for a nominal amount.

Managed all electronics, embedded software and mechanics for custom products built around custom satellite transceivers. Created product roadmaps in conjunction with customers and worked with them on execution. Developed core processes for initial startup phase along with transition of these processes into large corporate structure of Exelis. Served as subject matter expert on Iridium network and transceivers to generate business opportunities and grow startup. Managed average of $1.5M per product budget.• Established product engineering team of 38 mechanical, electrical, embedded software engineers, technicians, and quality, and support personnel from scratch, developing products and goals around satellite transceivers and achieving and creating a tracking, location and messaging transceiver.• Developed range of custom products centered around satellite transceiver servicing USG marketplace, producing $75M in revenue.• Developed 10 whitepapers to create new opportunities for growth of business and owned roadmaps for different products.• Met with customers to identify new opportunities, determine product gaps and introduce low-cost solutions, achieving 45% product price reduction while maintaining financial margins.
