• Prepare the product to go through the acceptance test defined by the customers or carriers.
• Verify and identify all the product errors, both hardware and software, in the real live network before the product is launched to the customer.
• Job also involves Conformance testing of GSM handset using Anite setup.

Confidentail,Bangalore, India Sep 2005 –Oct 2006
Product Test Engineer, Associate

As a part of Product test team, Responsible for CDMA wireless mobile phones software test. Tested manual and automated test cases on targets including full, regression and spot suites on CDMA call processing on IS-95A, IS-95B, and IS-2000.

• Testing is done for various CDMA standards such as IS-95A, IS-95B, CDMA2000 and CDG 2.
• Different call processing features such as registration, hand-off, Air Interface Tests, POTS, Power Control, Service Redirection, and Subscriber Calling Feature. These test cases are tested on various Base Station simulators like RACAL and Spirent
• Wrote, executed, documented, modified and incorporated CDMA product change request into IS-95A, IS-95B, and IS-2000 test cases and test outlines per CDMA standards

Confidentail,Bangalore, India July 2003 – Aug 2005
Jr. Engineer

Responsible for Data Collection (Drive Test) and Processing for CDMA networks using Qualcomm proprietary tool CAIT (CDMA Air interface tester).

• Drive test has carried out using CDMA Air Interface Tester (CAIT) tool. Performed RF drive test to carry out propagation and signal measurement. This is basically the data collection in order to modify network design and enhance performance of a CDMA network. Measure field data for the base station to identify Pilot signal strength, Handoff parameters, Mobile receive and transmit powers, Forward/reverse link FER plots and Call processing information. These collected system parameters are used to optimize the network. The main objective of drive test is to minimize call drops
• Project deals with Commissioning of Base Station System (BSS) which includes installation of Base Transceiver Station (BTS), Transcoder (XC) & Mobility Manager (MM) of MOTOROLA Systems of CDMA Network. It consists of automated ATP scripts executed by the LMF and used to verify all major transmit and receive performance characteristics on all BSS equipment. These ATP scripts are performed by Spectral Purity TX Mask, Waveform Quality (rho), Pilot Time Offset, Code Domain Power, and Frame Error Rate. These generate the reports, which are used by OMC-R for Optimization of Base Station System.
