I Managed the engineering team of Bittium in Tampere and partly in Espoo. I had roughly 40 subordinates at that time. By management I mean tasks like staffing, development of people skills, daily tasking and keeping my people up to date on site issues and the situation on Bittium's projects. My work includes also HR related tasks like recruiting, contract negotiations, salary negotiations, and so forth. To be successful e.g. in partnering, university collaboration and recruiting I need be able to be clear on the communication, to simplify the message and to get the people attention on my message. It was my responsibility to let as many people as possible to know what company Bittium is and which are the products and people behind those. I was always marketing and being as an example on Bittium's representative. As a Site Manager I negotiated all the contracts like cleaning, maintenance, electricity etc. To support local growth, I was also a salesman who advertise and negotiated with the enterprises in Southern Finland. What made all of this to happen? A long history in various technical roles, good people and presentation skills, feet on the ground and a hint of an entrepreneurs skills.

During these years I have worked with several projects as a Project Manager. Common things for all of these projects were that we designed embedded devices for our customers to fullfil their needs - to be more precise HW Baseband, antenna design, RF, Mechanics, Firmware (RTOS/Embedded Linux/ Bare metal). The work itself started from quotation phase, to continue with concept study, project kick-off, project desing phase and project delivery (maintenance). Typically there has been a wireless communicating involved in these projects, 2G/3G/LTE modems. As a project manager I have been responsible for project follow-up, customer communications, to follow that quality is met. Agile methodologies were used. Latest project was a tracking device that used 2G/GPS technologies. Another one was designed to be used as a service tool for the people lifting devices. Technologies used: BT, USB. We used Nordic's chipset in this tool. The third, was a wearable device project. I took care of the customer interface, product backlog, releasing content and schedule. On the Fourth one I worked in our customer's premises together with my team. We designed a SW for PC environment, Android Phones (Qt) to help to automate the mobile phone's camera validation process. With the fifth one we worked on a Wireless Android based VOIP tablet/handset project. I was happy for the final deliverables, we had many challenges but together with the team we managed to solve all of them. Our customers I have dealt with, have given me good or really good feedback on my and my project team's work for them. Also on the project management side, we have been able to keep the promised schedules and the tight budgets.

In this role I managed large testing team sizes variying from 13 up to 25 people. Team members were located in Beijing China. Person- ally I was located in our customer premises both in Finland and US. I worked between the customer and 3rd parties, not only between the team and the customer. We worked to developed a complex CDMA mobile and MeeGo platform. Our goal was to ensure those products will have a good quality and verified software. I was involved from the very beginning of the sales discussions to the end of the project life cycle. I was extremely happy that our well done preparation for the final sales discussions was one of the key factors that our solution was selected among the other competitors.According to the customer; my presentation, assertiveness and persistence were the final things to select Elektrobit as the solution provider. I ramped-up this team and got it working very well even though I was not present with the team in China, but got the team working remotely. However, there were lots of challenges for us to solve but we managed those. More importantly, we were able to fulfil our customer’s expectations and received good feedback on our work.

My employer gave me an opportunity for a secondment in UK, Southwood. I started from a scratch, interviewed people and formed a brand new protocol integration team. I taught the team how to do their daily work basics and after that personally concentrated on a team leading, development and on internal customer interfaces. This was a task I can still be proud of; my work was recognized as one of the success stories in Nokia Southwood during the year 2007 for ramping up a new Protocol Integration team! At the end of this period, I worked as an Integration Specialist. This work consisted of planning the content and scheduling the cellular modem software deliverables, synced with the appropriate HW releases.

I started my career along with my studies. I had already finished my Technician studies, but I was still eager to study to be an Engineer (B.Sc.). In the beginning of my career I worked as a summer trainee, then as a part timer (15-20h/week) and after I had graduated I was nominated to be a Design Engineer. During this time I designed a server side of a Field Testing tool (NW related info such as 2G signal strength, serving cell, neighbouring cells etc.). This data was fetched from L1 protocol SW and delivered to clients. I used C language, GCC compiler, debuggers. I wrote my thesis on the same subject. I took care also on SW bugs in the L1-L3 protocols in our projects. Work included also type approval verification studies and bug hunting. I verified that mobile SW was working as it should e.g. against protocols testers (Anritsu, R&S).
