Project Management

We manage projects through a contract and statement of work. The customer provides an RFQ or description of what they would like to accomplish. A sketch or drawing of the general assembly is very helpful. Next we arrange an introductory meeting to discuss the details. rfLyncs follows up by providing a SOW tailored to meet the customer needs with a sustainable timeline and quotation. This comprises the activities and a milestone for each phase. Progress reports are generated, reviewed against the milestone, and captured with meeting minutes to ensure understanding, transparency, and compliance. Weekly meetings are encouraged to promote collaboration.

Testimonials

"Steve put together a comprehensive program to compare the performance of multiple wearable antenna designs for one of our medical device products. Our engineering team worked closely through the project to blend their application knowledge with his antenna design and modeling skills. The result was an optimal wearable antenna that met our human factors requirements and significantly improved the performance of our system. His deep RF experience and ability to produce quality reports makes Steve an asset to any engineering team working in a regulated environment. We look forward to further collaborations with Steve as we bring this, and future, products to market."

"Steve, just a note to let you know how pleased I am with the consulting work you've done for us. Like the majority of tech companies, we can't justify a full-time wireless or antenna specialist on staff. We were up against a wall in chasing a range issue. We had gone as far as we could, given our expertise and equipment. I'm glad we found you, you were able to quickly home in on the source of the problem and recommend the most feasible fixes. The results have proven to be dramatic, with performance meeting or exceeding your calculated predictions. It's also been a real pleasure to work with you. Thanks again."
