RF Design Engineer II
Advanced Energy
Apr 2021 – Present (1 yr)

I was promoted to the Advanced Engineering Team and RF Engineer II within three years due to my project enthusiasm and understanding and execution of how to put in the work to get a project done. Ability and knowledge to take on novel challenges in the next generation RF technology realm due to my adaptability. Upper management entrusts me to assist or lead projects to reestablish project timelines for clients to meet their milestones or deadlines Found a gap in onboarding and took the initiative to seek upper management buy-in to develop a new technical training onboarding protocol in collaboration with cross-functional groups, for incoming engineers to ensure their success and ultimately retain employees Trainer for lower-level engineers on scripting, device communication, and calibration math by developing process improvement templates.

RF Engineer I
Advanced Energy
Aug 2018 – Apr 2021 (2 yrs 9 mos)

Designed and lead the team for the development of 2 new prototypes (PIN diode matching network capable of working in multiple different impedance areas) within the thin-film technology realm. The go-to guy for rescuing at-risk projects in jeopardy of not meeting their timelines and deadlines. Developed a novel way for using HFSS to expedite the iterative process of board turns by matching VNA S-parameter measurements in the simulator to match the real-world output.

RF Engineering Intern
Advanced Energy
May 2018 – Aug 2018 (4 mos)

Designed an electrical calibration station to calibrate counter matches from an existing mechanical prototype obsoleting the mechanical hardware. I was hired as an FTE after three months of interning due to my moxie and demonstration of leadership skills. Proven to be a trusted team player by establishing confidence with my colleagues who advocated for me to be hired as an FTE

Undergraduate Research Assistant
Colorado State University
May 2016 – May 2018 (2 yrs 1 mo)

Under Dr. Lear’s guidance, I will be working on the planning and constructing of hardware needed to create an air particulate monitor. In addition to building a monitor, the team will be working with Dr. Jayasumana to set up a mesh network of multiple monitors in proximity to particulate generating industrial plants. These air quality sensor modules will take air particulate readings in real-time and then upload their collected data to a database that can publicly report the air quality readings.
