Duties included:+ Developing automated test systems, examples include:- Scripting to configure and control the modem inside the TCU and creating detailed vehicle simulations using CANoe and CAPL.+ Authoring CapEx and OpEx budgets to VP level management.+ Interfacing with SXM IT infrastructure to create an integrated requirements, test, metric analysis, and reporting tool using HPQC and Soap_UI + Travelling frequently to Japan to work directly with Nissan engineers to translate specifications into actionable test plans for the Telematics Control Unit (TCU), infotainment IT-Master (IT-M), and the vehicle CAN bus.

March 2008 – October 2012 (post-merger)+ Performed many duties in parallel with each other. These duties included:- Performing day to day Type Acceptance testing.- SXM module FW testing and automation. o Created specifications discussing SXM module firmware behaviors and testing requirements.o Developed Ruby and Cucumber scripts to aid in automated firmware testing.- Developing and presenting the “SXM 101” technical training programs to a range of vehicle OEMs and suppliers in North America, Europe, Taiwan, and Japan.- Providing direction to the other team members in integrating all of the various tests fixtures.- Exercising authorship and continuous improvement of all the RF testing specifications. Activities to support this included - Developed data mining software in MATLAB and DIAdem.- Developed new tests in response to evolving ecosystems (e.g. WCS).- Support of these specs to both local and international customers.June 2005 – March 2008 (pre-merger)+ Performed day to day Type Acceptance testing.+ Performed FCC intentional and unintentional OATS testing at the FCC site near Willow Run airport+ Developed automated NTSC video correctness testing bench for Sirius Backseat TV video receivers using LabVIEW, Test Stand, and DIAdem.+ Developed tuner VSWR and phase noise tests using Vector Network Analyzers and Phase Noise Meters.+ Developed new tests by creating various waveforms in MATLAB and playing them out of specialized RF vector signal generators. These waveforms include LTE, 802.16e(WiMAX), 802.11a, 802.11b, QPSK, and FM

Systems Validation and Type Acceptance Group(Pre-merger)- Developed tuner VSWR and phase noise tests- Developed NTSC video correctness tests for Sirius Backseat TV video receivers- Developed new tests by creating various waveforms in Matlab and playing them out of specialized RF vector signal generators. These waveforms include LTE, 802.16e(WiMAX), 802.11a, 802.11b, QPSK, and FM

Lab Manager- Managed the Type Acceptance lab from a team of 2 to a team of 4 increasing throughput by 200%

Taught Introduction to Astronomy lecture and laboratory as a "side gig" in the evenings.

Note: UL purchased the Eaton EMC lab in 2002+ Led the post-merger integration effort to bring the new lab into ISO 17025 compliance+ Provided EMC engineering and testing services- Wrote authoritative test reports detailing Pass/Fail determinations - Built new tests to conform to a wide variety of specifications including Boeing/DO-160 Chrysler, Ford, GM, Toyota, etc. - Led the "Tiger Team" to close out all discrepancies arising from the 2002 A2LA audit - Reduced 54 open items to zero open items

+ Provided EMC engineering and testing support for Truck and Electric Vehicle platforms- Tested 42V and high voltage systems to determine transients, emissions (radiated and conducted), and susceptibility (radiated and conducted)+ Designed and authored new laboratory procedures, design procedures, and performance specifications for the Electric Vehicle platform- Author of new high voltage component specifications for Electric Vehicles (Bulk Current Injection (BCI)) and Conducted Transients lab procedures for high voltage applications+ Performed experimental studies to support fundamental research on remote keyless entry (RKE)

+Analyzed lamps including fluorescent, incandescent, and high intensity discharge (HID) for suitability to product applications; this included-Measurement of lamp spectra to calculate lamp irradiance (lumens/lux) and color coordinates-Examination of irradiance output as a function of input electrical power
