1. Principal Rf Microwave Design Engineer

   Northrop Grumman

   Jan 2019 — Present

   A principal RF microwave design frequency (RF) engineer working across various programs (SEWIP, JSF, EA-18G, etc.) in production support, testing, and troubleshooting of transmit/receive RF modules and circuit card assemblies along with the testing and development/evolution of the digital beamforming demonstrators/systems as part of the one of Arrays at Commercial Timescales (ACT) programs. • Led engineering/production support for all five SEWIP modules through low rate and full rate production. Tasks included design verification testing, module troubleshooting, provided feedback/suggestions for manufacturing related issues, performed data/trend/budget analysis, modified and executed model simulations (ADS and HFSS), and mentored and trained new team members. • Spearheaded and developed several data processing tools via Matlab to evaluate module performance and/or failures during production/testing for various programs. Coached other team members on developing and modifying existing scripts to meet program needs. • Collaborated with systems engineering, integration, and test (SEIT) team on the development and testing of the digital beam forming demonstrator. Tasks included test/lab environment setup, created acceptance RF test scripts, integrated test equipment automation, developed code for arbitrary waveform generation (AWG) functionality, tested reference generators and multi-chip modules (RF components of high-level assembly).
