Reduced cost and Increased profits by >40% after taking over the business unit.
On a satellite based cellular program, the customer was able to obtain a $104,000,000 award for satellite failure ONLY becuase of my method of testing, I knew we needed to test all of the beams and the customer was fine with 15 out of 144. I didn't know how at the time, but I knew 100% of beams needed to be fully tested, so I developed a method to perform that test effieciently. It took 48 hours to perform the test with beam-to-beam isolation and eirp levels and generate a full contour pattern.
