Work History

Validation Engineer

Marvell Semiconductors
06.2024 - Current
  • Successfully Validated the Small-signal gain,Harmonic Distortions and other design parameters in the lab for high-speed optical interconnect circuits.
  • Implemented test solutions to optimize the test time and successfully perform bench correlations.
  • Actively involved in the Bring-up process for functionality checks by characterizing the silicon wafer using RF Probes on probe stations and a Network Analyzer.
  • Analyzed the data to meet product specifications and troubleshooting to test setup to ensure there were no system errors that cause an out layers in the data.
  • Maintained clear communication with the team to ensure timely project progress, created test procedures, and technical documentation for on time execution of projects.

RF Design and Validation Co-op

Skyworks Solutions
01.2024 - 05.2024
  • Successfully Validated the parameters in Level-1 Tests to improve Gain, Saturation Power, and decrease Current, ACLR with necessary BOM changes.
  • Performed Stability analysis on PA (Tx) and reduced the spurs by changing the capacitor values on the VCC network for driver and load with VSWR 4:1 and 6:1 at Temperatures -20 and -30 degrees Celsius.
  • Performed tuning for RF Front-End Modules (FEM) for different bands to improve Gain, PAE, ACLR to meet client specs.

Teaching Assistant [RF Communication Systems]

San Jose State University
01.2023 - 12.2023
  • Successfully explained the Network Analyzer calibration techniques and Spectrum Analyzer along with teaching the basic RF Concepts to students in the lab to perform S-Parameter analysis, Noise Figure Measurement and IIP3 measurements.

RF Product/Test Engineer Intern

Marvell Semiconductors
05.2023 - 08.2023
  • Developed and evaluated different solid-state Radio Frequency (RF) switches on EVB using Silicon on Insulator (SOI) for broadband analog high-speed applications with more than 60GHz using a network analyzer.
  • Successfully evaluated the RF switches with low insertion loss and maximum isolation. This Results helped the team replace the electromechanical switches with solid-state RF switches near RF-Probe stations at the lab saved space and cost from $1000 to nearly $200.


Graduate Technical Intern

Nokia Network and Solutions
08.2021 - 06.2022
  • Analyzed and explored the 5G call flows and 3GPP cellular standards essential for 5G cloud deployments.
  • Produced effective results for Location identification use case for the Network Exposure Function in 5G Cloud by API deployments.

Associate Process Module Engineer

China Star Optoelectronics Technology
05.2019 - 11.2019
  • Analyzed conductive particles on Thin Film Transistor (TFT) after Bonding with LCD and AMOLED panel operating Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in a Cleanroom and Inspected production yield in fab
