Professional Experience
Nucomm(RF Extreme, Vitec Ltd.) 2007-2009
Responsible
for all phases of product realization including
design, design verification and manufacturing test,
and support of manufacturing line and after market
service. Extensive simulation of new designs and
for improving product yield. Developed a practical
implementation of a wide band bias tee for remote
RF transmit head applications, enabling a single
RF path for 2/7 GHz bands, reducing cost. RF/Analog
expertise complemented by ability to diagnose FW/SW
issues. Products include microwave video transmitters
and receivers operating up to 13 GHz for electronic
news gathering(ENG.)
Tyco Electronics/M/A-Com
2004-2007 Product Development Engineer - Board level
designs including synthesizers, VCOs, and a polar
