Andres Saldivar

Work on state-of-the-art oven-controlled crystal oscillators and RF components. Support production testing using automated test equipment and various types of test equipment including multimeters, frequency counters, and spectrum analyzers. Broadly responsible for testing, troubleshooting, repairing and modifying electronic circuits according to engineering instructions and customer specifications. Document and certify testing to military standards using approved acceptance test procedures.

• Perform testing and modifications on product using approved procedures.
• Troubleshoot circuits to component level.
• Generate test reports.
• Perform regularly scheduled preventive maintenance on electronic equipment.
• Ensure product is moved through testing sequences in a timely manner to meet schedule demands.

The RF Engineer- Microelectronic actively participates and works on existing oscillator products and technologies related to analog radio frequency and/or low phase noise designs. The engineer will be involved in identifying manufacturing problems and effect solutions for continuous product improvement and/or research component availability dealing with material obsolescence.

Responsibilities include testing and debugging of analog/RF building blocks such as amplifiers, detectors, mixers, couplers and filters as well as some basic layout and circuit designs.

• Experienced installing multi-inverter equinox storage systems capable of 30kWh constantly improving test coverage
• Testing and configuring new applications as well as design changes needed for product development
• Collaborated with QA engineers, hardware engineers in writing test cases as well as test plans
• Collaborated daily with engineers to dive in deeply with the components as well as their capabilities
• Daily use of Linux and Jira to communicate with the energy storage systems.
• Hands on for assembly, wiring, fabrication, and instrumentation
