  DragonWave Inc.

  Jul 2014 - Feb 2016

  Design test fixtures for validation of microwave radio functionality. Create 3D CAD models for all components and assemblies. Prepare all required documentation; detailed part and assembly drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs). Adapt designs to changing needs of RF and Software Engineers. Send parts for small volume manufacturing and seek out appropriate Common, Off The Shelf (COTs) parts. Assemble, test and verify functionality of fixture and retroactively improve design. Work independently on multiple projects at a time. Show less Assemble radio testing stations within server racks by following technical drawings, written and oral directions. Calibrate stations and equipment such as network analysers and waveguide networks. Validate station functionality by running test software (LabVIEW) and making modifications to setup as needed. Perform calibration and functional tests on radios, detect failures and troubleshoot for solutions. Coordinate with engineers to meet their technical needs and project timelines. Work with contract manufacturers overseas to ship and reassemble test stations within manufacturing facility. Work in team-based, fast-pace environment. Show less
