Background

I am a recent University of Michigan graduate and current RF Engineer at Lockheed Martin. I am looking for RF Engineering positions in the Los Angeles area.

Job experience

• March 2019 - present
  RF Engineer I
  Lockheed Martin
  

  Los Angeles, CA, USA

  • Modeled unit cell designs with Floquet port in Ansys HFSS to design a structure that converts a traveling wave into a surface wave and created parametric studies for special materials ordered
  • Simulated material structures with Ansys HFSS and Lumerical FDTD to create 2D photonic bandgap diagrams as well as reflection diagrams for highly absorptive nanorods spin coated in melanin
  • Created FSS/Metamaterial unit cell designs in HFSS and adapted model designs to facilitate wideband absorption and phase progression
  • Modeled radome honeycomb with Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) approximated as a circuit model in Ansys HFSS, tuned the circuit model to create a wider bandpass filter
  • Tuned cavity backed slot antenna in Ansys HFSS to account for the addition of Radar Absorbing Material
  • Determined the complex impedance of several capacitive sheets through creating a model in Ansys HFSS and processing the results in Matlab, determined maximum tolerance for manufacturing offset
  • Designed test setup for measurement of loaded foam in enclave, conducted tests and produced MATLAB graphs of results to prove RF properties changed while drying
  • Conducted multiport measurements on network analyzer and processed traces in MATLAB to create heatmap plots of data for 32 port phased array antenna
  • Created two optical limiter designs, similar to Bragg reflectors, and tuned thickness of layers and modified material properties to achieve selective pass and stop bands
  • Created test plan for GPS signal translator device, tested and verified harnesses, carried out temperature, shock, altitude, acceleration, and electromagnetic interference tests
  • Lockheed Martin Recruiter and Campus Ambassador at University of Michigan
  • Active US DoD Secret Clearance

• June 2018 - August 2018
  Circuits Engineering Intern
  Medtronic
  

  Minneapolis, MN, USA

  • Tested feedthrough capacitors for a variety of devices to determine cutoff frequency
  • Documented testing procedures to meet Medtronic standards
  • Automated testing equipment using LabVIEW
  • Assisted in testing home monitor to confirm matching circuit conformed to expectations

• May 2018 - June 2018
  RF and Circuits Engineering Intern
  Lockheed Martin
  

  Syracuse, NY, USA

  • Reverse engineered circuit used for testing S band and X band frequencies on a 40 element phased array radar. The circuit included an Arduino Uno 3, I/O expander, and an 8-bit parallel-out serial shift register.
  • Built the schematic for the circuit in Altium Designer 2018 and developed the four-layer PCB design sent for fabrication.
  • Assisted in verification of gain and power consumption of a X and S band RF splitter on a network analyzer and running MATLAB scripts to command equipment over GPIB
  • Interim Security Clearance

• April 2017 - June 2017
  RF Test Intern
  Willow Run Test Labs
  

  Ann Arbor, MI, USA

  • Tested car radios for FCC certification using audio analyzer and generator; condensed certification documents and developed necessary testing approach and procedure
  • Verified wireless car keys for key-less entry met FCC certifications
  • Set up GPS Simulator and computer software to prepare for testing of automobile GPS devices

• April 2017 - June 2017
  Research Assistant
  Flynn Research Group at University of Michigan
  

  Ann Arbor, MI, USA

  • Assisted in testing of CMOS memristor chip used for real-time image compression
  • Worked on the testing circuit board with an OpenRISC processor and UART controller to communicate data to computer for analysis
  • Programmed digital potentiometers using SPI protocol and used Python to produce graphs and measure responses
  • Automated testing equipment over GPIB in Python
  • Moved testing setup to work on Raspberry PI so chip became portable for demonstration

Education

• University of Michigan Ann Arbor
  BSE Electrical Engineering
  

  2015 - 2018

  Highly motivated student who graduated after 3.5 years.
