Interacting with decision-makers and customers to translate mission needs into an end-to-end analytical solution

Prior design experience in:

Antennas

RF Printed Circuit Boards

RF Integrated Circuits

RF Transceiver building blocks (power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, filters)

Knowledge of:

Mechanical design

Designing and debugging for EMI/EMC requirements

Digital to Analog / Analog to Digital converters

FPGA hardware inference designs

Background in designing for manufacturability, producibility, and cost constraints

Ability to apply novel, innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to challenging engineering problems
