PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
ENVISIONEERING INC., Washington, D.C. 10/2006 Present
Electrical Engineer Six months contract position at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
Support the development of IED (Improvised Explosive Devise) countermeasures by examining the effects of RF energy on IED blasting caps.
- Conduct field testing to experimentally examine the RF characteristics of U.S. military blasting caps and the effects of direct RF injection into U.S. military blasting caps.
- Develop data reduction tools using MATLAB code and MS Excel to analyze data captured during field testing. The data reduction tools are used for calculating and plotting RF parameters including impedance, return loss/VSWR (S11 and S22) and the RF energy required for the neutralization of blasting caps.
JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY APL, Laurel, Maryland 08/2003 08/2006
Associate Staff Engineer
Lead test engineer for the Full Signal Translator (FST) program.
- Optimize and perform RF system testing on power amplifiers (PAs), low noise amplifier (LNAs) and L-band to S-band frequency translators.
- Utilize LabVIEW, TestStand and Visual Basic to develop automation software for an ATE station designed to test Full Signal Translators (FSTs).
SCIENTIFIC-ATLANTA, Lawrenceville, Georgia 11/1999 08/2002
Senior Engineer
Developed test (ATEs) for equipment used in CATV networks.
- Developed test for E3/DS3/OC-3 data modules and ASI MPEG video modules that plug into an OC-48 rate SONET/SDH platform. The test stations perform Bit Error Rate Test (BERT); PCR jitter measurements, verify inter-bus data communication between plug-in modules; verify optical and voltage output levels of plug-in modules.
- Developed test for various RF assemblies: amplifiers, high and low pass filters, RF switches and equalizers. The test stations perform distortion (CSO/CTB), noise figure and S-parameter measurements.
- Test development included: writing test plans and procedures; validating test specifications; designing and building test fixtures; developing network analyzer test sequences; purchasing, installing and configuring RF, digital and optical test equipment at production facilities; automating test systems (via GPIB interface) using Visual Basic; training manufacturing technician in testing and troubleshooting RF, digital and optical product assemblies.
- Designed and developed Access databases that were used for entering and storing manufacturing test data. The databases had the capability of generating reports based on manufacturing yields and defect data.
LOCKHEED MARTIN MISSION SYSTEMS, Gaithersburg, Maryland 01/1997 10/1999
Test Engineer
Hardware: Tested, characterized and modified antenna arrays and receiver subsystems.
- Measured S-parameters of wideband antennas and coaxial feed subsystems; conducted mutual coupling test on antenna arrays; modified antenna array designs to gain desirable VSWR measurements and radiation patterns.
- Designed, tested and integrated digital switching circuits for RF receivers. The digital switches allowed the receiver bandwidth and gain to be controlled via software.
Software: Responsibilities included developing and testing radar and simulation software.
- Developed, wrote and executed Integration and System test cases for a C++ developed, bistatic, passive radar system running on a UNIX (IRIX) platform.
- Awarded the Lockheed Martin Achievement Award for developing hardware and software analysis tools using C++ modules and MATLAB.
- Performed software and hardware requirement verification and validation.
- Tested and modified C++ and MATLAB coded radar simulations.
HUGHES SPACE AND COMMUNICATIONS, El Segundo, California 06/1995 08/1996
Student Intern
- Assisted R&D engineering in designing, modeling and testing C- and Ku-band antennas for communication satellites.
