About

Innovative and results-driven RF Design Engineer with 5+ years of experience in the design, simulation, integration, and characterization of high-frequency circuits for transceiver and communication systems. Skilled in developing power amplifiers, LNAs, mixers, and mmICs using industry-standard tools like Keysight ADS, Cadence Virtuoso, and HFSS. Proven ability to drive product development success through advanced simulation techniques, RF PCB layout optimization, and compliance testing.

Strong collaborator with cross-functional teams, delivering high-yield solutions in high-speed and mission-critical applications.

Experience

Electronic Engineer (Graduate Research Assistant), Universityof Houston / NSF IUCRC BRAIN Center - Aug 2023 - Oct 2024 | Houston, TX

  • Designed and integrated high-speed RF modules (LNA, Mixer, Bias T, TCXO) for advanced biomedical rehabilitation systems—including wearable exoskeletons and gait-monitoring devices—enabling real-time signal acquisition with >95% data integrity.
  • Conducted PCB layout optimization and EMC design using ADS, HFSS, and Altium, reducing prototype debugging time by 20% and enhancing EMI immunity in clinical environments.
  • Authored over 10 comprehensive documentation packages (test procedures, design specifications, compliance reports), accelerating regulatory submission processes and reducing review cycle times by 25%.
  • Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams across biomedical and electrical domains to co-develop signal processing pipelines, improving sensor latency by 18% and lowering system cost by integrating low-power RF solutions.
RF Engineer, Global Telecommunications - Feb 2021 - Jun 2023 | Hyderabad
  • Led end-to-end RF front-end module development for transceivers operating across HF, VHF, UHF, and SHF bands, supporting military-grade and commercial communication systems with up to 99.8% signal reliability.
  • Designed and validated LNAs, IF amplifiers, mixers, VCOs, PLLs, and high-power amplifiers (0.5W–1.5KW), increasing coverage range by 35% while maintaining spectral efficiency.
  • Spearheaded the simulation of circuits using Cadence and Keysight ADS for GaN and SiGe technologies, accelerating prototyping cycles by 30% through first-pass design success.
  • Conducted load-pull, IP3, and noise figure testing to ensure EMI/EMC compliance, resulting in 15% production yield improvement and reducing field failure rate by 18%.
  • Diagnosed and resolved RF anomalies via Smith Chart analysis, impedance matching, and root cause analysis, cutting signal distortion by 25% across deployed systems.
RF Engineering Intern, Silicon Grand - Aug2020 - Jan 2021 | Hyderabad
  • Designed a low-power RF emitter with integrated waveguide and band-pass filter for a radar imaging system operating at 319.93 THz, ensuring high spectral resolution and minimal signal loss, which enhanced power efficiency for extended field deployment in harsh environments
  • Developed GPS-disciplined oscillators (GPSDO). 
Electronic Technician, Global Green Tech - Sep2018 - Mar 2019 | Hyderabad
  • Assembled and calibrated lab bench powersupplies to ensure ±1% voltagestability for testingenvironments.

Education

  • Master of Science (M/S) in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Houston (MSEE) • Aug 2023 - May 2025
  • Bachelor of Science (B/S) in Electronics and Communication Engineering at Kalinga University • July 2018 - May 2022
