• Proposed various power architecture topologies to systems engineers and customers and worked with them to select the best solutions for their applications. Collaborated with systems engineers to capture and optimize requirements.
• Created detailed power budgets to capture load circuit requirements including voltage, current, rail sequencing, and power dissipation (supports thermal modeling). Investigated custom, semi-custom and “off the shelf” technical solutions.
• Performed circuit design and schematic capture.
• Performed printed wiring board layout using Mentor Graphics Expedition (working with CAD experts).
• Performed circuit level design verification testing and system level qualification testing.
• Supported International Regulatory Agency Testing (Product Safety, EMC, Surge, and Lightning) and implemented design improvements when necessary.
• Supported introduction of new products into the manufacturing environment (factory test, current engineering, etc.).
• Designed and Developed DC-DC solutions on circuit packs, active backplanes & fan tray assemblies.
• Designed and Developed AC-DC solutions for Small Cell Base Stations (Metro Cell) & Light Radio™.

• Responsible for architecture, circuit design, development and testing of a two kilowatt system level power solution for a low cost CDMA 3G Base Station that was developed for customers in China and India.
• Resolved field issues with existing widely deployed base station power supplies. Successfully identified the root causes of the problems and implemented corrective actions by working with 3rd party suppliers.
• Leader of two international Supplier Quality Improvement Teams (Delta Electronics, Thailand & Tyco, Mexico).
• Authored Power & Battery Engineering Rules Documents for various base stations. These documents are used to support Configurator Tool Software Releases and guide customers in how to set up and grow their wireless networks.
• Supported the establishment and growth of a reference library of reusable power sub-circuits or platforms that were used to support company-wide cost reduction and new product introduction efforts.
• Actively supported the Optical Networking Group’s Cost Reduction Program: Submitted power circuit cost reduction proposals and monitored progress, maintained Cost Savings Tracking Workbooks, participated in brainstorming sessions and authored follow-up White Papers to describe design-related cost avoidance ideas.
• Provided circuit pack power subsystem design support. This included detailed load analysis, creation of Excel Spreadsheet Power Workbooks, assistance in the selection of parts, circuit design, participation in design reviews, etc.
• Developed an ATCA High Voltage Energy Storage Circuit and evaluated its performance over a wide temperature range. Successfully deployed this circuit on four different circuit packs.
• Provided input into the Supply Chain Network’s Board Mounted Power and Power Management Circuit Strategies.
• Supported Supply Chain Network’s efforts to respond to Ambit/Foxconn/Hon Hai’s decision to exit the power business.
