Washington, D.C. — JEM Engineering of Laurel, MD has been selected as one of the winners of the 2007 Tibbetts Awards. JEM Engineering will receive the award on Oct. 10 at the Westin Washington, located at 1400 M Street NW in Washington, D.C.
JEM Engineering, a custom antenna design, manufacturing and testing services company,
announces that it has co-engineered an artificially-evolved antenna with ASA, becoming
the first of its type in space. The evolved antenna -- mounted on three of NASA's
Space Technology 5 (ST5) satellites -- was launched into an Earth orbit on March 22nd. News Briefs
JEM Engineering, an antenna developer for both government and commercial applications, announces the addition of key staff members to help the company maintain its success in Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awarded contracts as well as the sale of commercial antenna products. The SBIR program is administered by 10 federal agencies to help provide early-stage R&D funding to small technology companies. Within the past several months, JEM's technical team has grown 116% to include mechanical designers, technicians and electrical engineers. In addition, the support staff has increased to aid in the manufacturing ramp-up and product order management activities. Rounding out the JEM team is an outstanding work force of highly trained technicians, customer support, operations and administrative personnel to create a reliable supply chain for high and low volume order fulfillment. "Each of these team members provides relevant industry experience that further strengthens the sales and operations departments at JEM. With our recent success in awarded contracts the timing was appropriate to expand these teams, and we look forward to further growth in the coming year," says Nancy Lilly, president of JEM. "Having these valuable individuals on board will enable us to grow our business even more quickly." More recently, Nancy received a certificate of training completion from the U.S. Senate Productivity and Maryland Quality Awards. Serving as an examiner for this effort provided insight into award requirements, and further demonstrates the company's continued effort towards management system improvements, higher level of performance and customer excellence. "It is not only important to accept and acknowledge the constant changes in our country's business environment and technology but vital for JEM's continued success," said Lilly. "Learning the criteria for performance excellence is just another way to give back to our valued clients." For more than 20 years Maryland's U.S. Senators have honored the quality, productivity and business achievements of Maryland organizations by presenting the Senate Productivity Awards for Maryland. In 1997, these awards were expanded to include Maryland Quality Awards, a new and expanded recognition and learning process for leading Maryland organizations. The awards not only identify, recognize and spotlight role model organizations who performance is worthy of emulation but encourages organizations to learn and improve their organization's business practices. June 2004—JEM's most recent news includes the addition of Derek Linden, PhD, as its chief scientist. Dr. Linden brings with him over 10 years of experience in optimization and evolutionary algorithms, antenna design and electromagnetics. Since 1995, he has performed groundbreaking research in the automated design of wire and patch antennas using evolutionary optimization, and has a publication list that includes 21 conference and journal articles, 22 presentations, three book chapters and two IEEE short courses in that area. He is co-inventor of the patented genetic antenna, and his work with them has been highlighted in Science News (September, 4, 1999, p.157), The New York Times (November 25, 1999, p. D9), Wired Magazine (February 2004, p. 114) and EDN (June 10, 2004). Prior to joining JEM, he was the Chief Technical Officer of Linden Innovation Research of Ashburn, VA (2000–2004). Before 2000, he served over eight years as an officer of the U.S. Air Force as a researcher and program manager. Dr. Linden received his BS from the U.S. Air Force Academy and his MS and PhD from MIT from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, majoring in superconductor/solid-state electronics and optimization and antenna design, respectively. --> News & Events
JEM has also begun efforts to obtain Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association's (CTIA) certification for its Satimo antenna testing facility. To learn more about this and other certifications as well as JEM's quality program click here. Press Releases
