Over 30 years experience in Antenna and RF/Microwave Test and Alignment. I'm comfortable working with a 50 GHz VNA (PNA), and have done some work at 90 GHz. In the early stages of Kymeta, I designed, built, and programmed Planar Near Field scanners that are still in use today. Achievements:+ Worked with the Xbox Accessories Group (flex move), from 2006 into late 2013; EV through PV phases on multiple projects. Generated Test Results, Bug Reports, Repro steps to enable + As a Test Technician, I redesigned a test station improving the cycle time from over 8 hours to under 2 hours, saving the project over well over $330,000 in 2023 dollars.+ Demonstrated the mechanical impact of Coefficient of Thermal Expansion to an MBA, thereby securing funding for design improvements which paved the way for resumption of deliveries to the US Air Force.+ Numerous "saved the day" moments by having the components/test equipment to resolve issues on the spot.Technical Skills:+ Possesses analytical talents in assembly, testing, debugging and troubleshooting of electronics, specializing in RF/Microwave, with competency in Analog, Digital and Audio circuits, from board to system level. + Specify, Design, Source, Modify, and Build Anechoic Test Chambers & Fixtures for Antennas+ Test Equipment: Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, Synthesizers and Signal Generators, Power Meters, Oscilloscopes, DMM. Audio, Logic and Video Analyzers. RF Impedance and Phase Noise Analyzer Systems, Noise Figure Meter, operation of Anechoic Chambers for Antenna Measurements. + Protocol Analyzers: SPI, I2C, I2S, RS-232, USB + Amplifiers, Receivers, Filters, Cassegrain and Phased Array Antennae, Couplers, Combiners, Splitters, Circulators & Isolators, Mixers, Waveguide and Coaxial Transmission Lines, ADC, DAC.+ Adequate electronics assembly and re-work skills including fine pitch soldering. + Proficient computer skills in Windows and MS Office.
