Work History
Sr. Electrical Engineering
Embedded Design / Hardware Technologies
11.2018 - Current
- Led hardware reviews against drawing specifications to ensure component compliance.
- Direct cross-functional teams through systems tasks, including requirements capture, documentation development, integration, and testing.
- Plan, integrate, and execute new hardware within budget and schedule constraints.
- Act as technical lead across multiple programs while guiding team members, aligning with customer needs, and meeting contractual requirements.
- Currently leading the PQT effort (writing the document and run the test) as well as acting as the team lead for any questions the EEE team has regarding the Qual reports.
- Experienced running ENV and EMI Qual tests (i.e. On my current program we just finished EMI and ENV testing. I worked with my team in order to troubleshoot EMI issues while running conductive susceptibility, radiated emissions, and conducted emissions tests; we also troubleshoot ENV issues, but those did not drive any unit updates as they were test equipment/procedure related).
- Improved manufacturability by evaluating electronic components and recommending design updates or test methods with peers.
- Utilized lab equipment for troubleshooting electronic components.
- Adept in analyzing various types of circuit card assemblies (i.e. Discrete, Analog, RF (amplification and attenuation), D/A, Power Supply, 1553, PCIe, A429).
- Experienced in schematic capture (i.e., In the last two years I have found replacement for components that went obsolete or were spec incorrectly to work correctly on the board for 3 boards (Control, RFS, and IF) and led the board re-spin).
- Partner with customers to maintain product satisfaction and reinforce trust, respect, integrity, and innovation.
- Worked on JAMA writing test cases and procedures while keeping requirement documentation updated due to changes in requirements made by the customer.
