      Employee of the Month EchoStar Corporation, Hardware Engineering Group Jan 2013 “For outstanding efforts on the broadband 69cm antenna project. When the program ran into significant production issues, Jason immediately worked with the supplier to determine the root cause and implement corrective actions, despite poor performance by the supplier. Jason’s efforts included analysis of supplier data, taking multiple system measurements, supporting on-site efforts at the supplier, and working closely with the project team to ensure production back up as fast as possible.… Show more “For outstanding efforts on the broadband 69cm antenna project.
