William Amezcua

Hello, my name is William Amezcua, and I'm currently a senior at San Francisco State University, pursuing a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. I believe I'm a strong candidate for an electrical engineering position due to my qualifications, skills, and passion for the field. Throughout my engineering journey, I've built a solid foundation in key areas like circuit design, power systems, pcb boards, and microelectronics. I have hands-on experience in the field through labs and several projects. These experiences have sharpened my problem-solving skills and attention to detail, allowing me to handle complex challenges efficiently. I've successfully completed projects both independently and as part of a team, which has strengthened my adaptability and teamwork abilities. Through both my education and internship experience, along with various projects, I believe I am an ideal candidate for your company.

Alef Flying Car, Electrical Engineer Intern, Interning with Alef I was fortunate enough to work on the world's first flying car. Here I was assigned individual tasks such as designing and soldering up pcb boards, running cnc machines and general problem solving. I have other interns assigned to me to teach them what I'm doing or to assist me if more than one person is needed. I also engaged in cross functional team projects, fostering effective communication and collaboration with colleagues, engineers, and other supervisors. I've also contributed to the design process by providing valuable insights, participating in design reviews, and incorporating feedback from colleagues and supervisors to enhance the overall quality and functionality of mechanical and electrical components. SFSU FSAE (Formula SAE), Having to develop a vehicle marketed to a specific demographic as outlined by the rules. We first made a chassis on solid works that had to comply with all rules and specs. Then our team began to build our chassis with minimal spending and resources. Most teams pay for a made chassis. We cut, notched, bent and welded all of our tubes on campus on our own machines. We hit a couple obstacles but I was able to keep the team focused to achieve our goal. Also we were able to do this with an 8 person group and other programs have hundreds of members. Project TRACK (Thermally Responsive Automated Cooling Kit), Designed and implemented Project TRACK, a temperature-responsive cooling system to enhance workspace comfort and energy efficiency. Utilized STM32 NUCLEO-L476RG microcontroller to control a DC fan and LED indicators based on ambient temperature readings from an LM35 sensor. Developed a responsive user interface with LED color feedback for temperature ranges and buttons for user input. Ensured system reliability and accuracy through software debugging with Keil and electrical testing with a multimeter, verifying sensor outputs and power stability. EnviroView: Multi-Environment Scanning System for 3D Mapping, Developed Enviro-View, a real-time 3D scanning device designed for mapping environments across diverse terrains. Engineered a rotating platform for dual stereo cameras to capture 360-degree views, enabling accurate depth estimation and detailed 3D maps. Utilized advanced computer vision models and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to process image data into 3D visualizations, with applications in autonomous navigation and environmental monitoring. Integrated data transfer protocols for efficient processing on external systems, optimizing performance and reducing hardware costs. Low-Noise Headphone Amplifier Project, Designed and constructed a low-noise headphone amplifier, involving circuit and PCB design, component assembly, and thorough testing. Key elements included integrating a dual-ganged potentiometer for stereo volume control, LED power indicators, and safety features such as a secondary fuse and power switch. Utilized Eagle software for PCB layout and LTSpice for simulation, analyzing non-inverting amplifier and feedback circuits to optimize signal clarity and amplifier functionality. This project provided hands-on experience with the full engineering design cycle, from schematic creation to PCB fabrication and final assembly.
