Work History

Antenna Design Engineer II

Raytheon
08.2023 - Current
  • Responsible for the hands-on design and realization of individual antennas, phased array antennas and passive RF components
  • Designed complex, multi-layer PWBs with blind, buried, and micro vias, ensuring compliance with IPC-2221 design standards.
  • Utilized Siemens Xpedition and Cadence Allegro for PWB layout design, working on both rigid and rigid-flex applications.
  • Use computational electromagnetic analysis software to design and predict performance on various types of antennas and apertures (spiral, sinuous, Vivaldi, patch, slot, horn, ultra-wideband tightly coupled dipole arrays, etc.)
  • Support programs through modeling and simulation of antennas or RF components/systems
  • Analyze simulation or test data to verify performance to requirements
  • Participate in the testing of RF hardware for required performance metrics: VSWR, insertion loss, gain, polarization, radar cross section (RCS).

Electrical Engineer I

Raytheon
12.2021 - 08.2023
  • EE Production support for RADAR system level troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
  • Assisting in developing new antenna range software to improve repeatability and reduce test time.
  • Root cause failure analysis on Transmitters, control processors, Digital receivers, RF power supplies, and Up down converters
  • Read and interpreted blueprints, technical drawings, schematics, and computer-generated reports
