Michael Swiatkowski has extensive work experience in the field of antenna engineering and RF engineering. Michael started their career in 1997 as a Co-op at Michigan Scientific Corp, where they assembled slip rings, soldered electronic components, and performed precision machining. In 1998, they worked as an intern at Alliant Tech Systems Inc, conducting research on defense systems and designing software for predicting performance.

From 1999 to 2006, Swiatkowski worked at Rockwell Collins and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport in various roles, including intern and electronics engineer. During this time, they gained experience in measuring radiated/conductive susceptibility and emissions of aviation systems, editing LabVIEW software, managing RF anechoic chambers, and supervising technicians.

In 2001, Swiatkowski joined Motorola as a Senior Electrical Engineer, specializing in antenna design for phones. Michael used simulation software extensively to design various types of antennas. From 2008 to 2017, they worked at Motorola Solutions as a Senior Staff Engineer, where they focused on RF hardware design for land mobile radio products, particularly power amplifier design and site hardware installation.

Swiatkowski then joined Northrop Grumman as a Systems Engineer, specializing in RF engineering, from 2017 to 2018. Michael later worked at L3Harris Technologies as the Lead Wireless RF Engineer 5 from 2018 to 2021, where they led wireless RF engineering projects.

Currently, Swiatkowski is working at Optimal Design as a Staff RF Engineer, starting in 2021. Michael will be joining PCTEL in 2023 as a Principal Antenna Engineer.

Michael Swiatkowski obtained their Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering from Michigan Technological University, where they studied from 1995 to 1999. Michael then pursued a Master's Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville from 1999 to 2001. In addition to their academic qualifications, they obtained the Amateur Radio Extra Class License from the Federal Communications Commission in September 1996 and the General Mobile Radio Service certification from the same institution in August 2021.
