WORK EXPERIENCE
RF Systems Engineer
Tech Resources Inc-July 2009 to February 2011
• Simulated, built, and tested custom antenna couplers used to verify jet aircraft systems.
• Specifically but not limited to electronic countermeasure detection and jamming systems with antenna
frequencies in the microwave to millimeter wave spectrum.
• Studied frequency independent antennas and presented new design considerations to integrate new
technologies in future builds.
• Fortified my understanding in near field antenna theory and practice.
• Authored test procedures and failure procedures for technicians that were new to antenna coupling tests.
• Devised software and hardware tools that helped streamline test procedures while maintaining test
integrity and minimizing human error.
• Managed a technical team that I fully trusted to take over testing responsibilities with very little supervision.
• Elicited and outlined new procedures to improve efficiency at every level.
