Nancy Lilly-President Nancy has significant RF experience working in a variety of engineering capacities. Before launching JEM Engineering in 2001, Nancy was a manufacturing engineer for both Wang and Scope Laboratories of Northern VA. She has more than 10 years of experience in antenna and RF applications and system design. She also has experience in quality engineering working as a quality assurance manager for Racal Avionics of Silver Spring, MD and a quality engineer for Arbitron of Columbia, MD. And more recently Nancy was an examiner for the 2004 U.S. Senate Productivity & Maryland Quality Award for The University of Maryland Center for Quality & Productivity (click here for learn more about this award). For several years, Nancy served as a quality manufacturing engineering consultant, which allowed her to be at home with her three children: Julia, Elizabeth and Margaret (JEM) of whom the business is named after. Along with the company's chief engineer—who also happens to be Nancy's husband—they manage all of the engineering, product development and R&D activities at JEM. Nancy is also responsible for the company's certification process, special clearance applications and all strategic and tactical marketing functions. Nancy holds a BS in both chemistry and industrial engineering from the University of Puerto Rico and Polytechnic University, respectively. She also holds a Masters in Engineering Administration from George Washington University.

Jim Lilly-Chief Engineer As the company's chief engineer, Jim is responsible for all of the engineering, product development and R&D activities at JEM. Jim is also responsible for the technical oversight of JEM's testing facilities and offering technical sales support. Prior to co-founding JEM, Jim was a co-founder of Etenna Corporation, a wireless embedded antenna company where he led the product development efforts for several product lines. Prior to Etenna, Jim was a member of the antenna systems division of Atlantic Aerospace of Greenbelt, MD. Co-inventor of both the tunable patch antenna as well as reduced weight artificial dielectrics, Jim also developed and implemented several innovative concepts and designs for electrically small antennas on low observable airborne platforms. Prior to Atlantic Aerospace, Jim was a senior scientist with the Amecom Division of Litton Systems, where he designed spiral and horn antenna elements for several military aircraft systems. He also developed and used computational methods for the design and optimization of single and multi-mode Archimedean and equiangular spirals, logarithmic and log-periodic antennas, and patch antennas and arrays. Jim received his MSEE and BSEE degrees from West Virginia University where he also completed coursework toward his PhD.
