• RF & Microwave Applications Engineer
REMEC Q-bit, Palm Bay, FL January 2001 to July 2003
Q-bit supplies RF and microwave amplifiers for use in wireless telecommunication and military applications. Worked with prospective customers to match our product lines; low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) to high-power amplifiers (HPAs), including MCPAs, for GSM/EDGE, CDMA, WCDMA, and UMTS; to their needs. Qualified the technical inquires and achieved a complete, concise specification. Supported the bidding process by doing the costing from the engineering estimates for materials and design time. Additionally, developed and presented field-sales training classes, organized equipment demonstrations for trade shows, did technical writing for brochures and web sites, and provided technical support to users and a worldwide field sales force. I saved resources by answering 90% of the technical questions without having to get engineering involved.
