Hardware Diagnostics Engineer (Co-op)

C | Python | Thermal Control | Manufacturing Test

• Scaled the thermal control loop from one product to 5 product variants and integrated it into manufacturing tests
• Created a temperature calibration curve deriving a customer-required reading from an internal sensor to within 2°C, meeting a spec that previously needed custom external test equipment
• Built a mock of an unreleased system from existing boards and adapted firmware/tools to target it, enabling software development before hardware arrived and validating a configuration no current system supports

Hardware Diagnostics Engineer (Co-op)

C | Python | Raspberry Pi | I2C

• Cut uncaught production-line errors from 0.26% to 0.01% by isolating I2C communication failures and porting the subtest from Python to C
• Led bring-up and validation of evaluation boards for 2 high-speed retimer ASICs, writing low-level C utilities on Raspberry Pi hosts that extended diagnostics to new ICs, sensors, power rails, and fans
• Developed a thermal control loop to hold modules at a target temperature during testing, using a Proportional-Integral controller with feedforward and a custom YAML parser

Hardware Engineer (Co-op)

PCB | Cadence OrCAD X | STM32

• Designed 4-layer evaluation Printed Circuit Board from scratch using Cadence OrCAD X, including component research, schematic diagram, and layout, to evaluate new Power-Management ICs
• Verified functionality of 40+ AI Accelerator Cards by conducting physical inspections, short checks, performance benchmarks, and neural network correctness tests, while ensuring power/thermal compliance
• Reduced current sensing IC's error from 8% to <1% by sweeping configuration registers and comparing current values measured via STM32 to adjustable current load's readout, simulating an active board

Firmware Engineer (Co-op)

C | RISC-V | I2C/PMBus | UART/JTAG | OpenOCD

• Wrote bare-metal C firmware, shipped on customer cards, for the RISC-V core of an AI Accelerator Card (PCIe Gen5 x16) ASIC: power sequencing, temperature sensing, power monitoring, and fan control over I2C and PMBus
• Brought the first batch of accelerator cards to full boot in under 3 days by flashing PMICs, power sequencers, and ASICs, and debugging over UART/JTAG, unblocking higher-level software teams
• Researched and proposed switching a voltage rail from single-phase to dual-phase, projecting a 46% reduction in power loss and 10% higher efficiency; the change was adopted

Embedded Software Engineer (Co-op)

C/C++ | GoogleTest | LibEvent

• Accelerated iteration and testing of a Segment-Routing module by developing an event-based client for simple user interfacing and by configuring CMAKE to enable independent compilation
• Improved error-detection of a TCP-transport library by creating C++ GoogleTest unit tests, allowing for send and receive functionalities to be tested concurrently using multi-threading
• Increased thread safety of C code and protected internal data structures by converting APIs to signal-based

Software Engineer (Co-op)

Python | Jenkins | Coverity | qTest | Docker

• Enhanced security of a PCIe card by implementing Trusted Boot features such as allowing binary signing without access to private RSA keys
• Eliminated the need for physical boards for initial firmware testing by configuring an ARM emulator
• Improved testing capabilities by increasing the number of automated tests running in Docker containers, creating new Robot Framework software robots
• Boosted software security by enabling fast discovery of potential vulnerabilities by creating Jenkins CI pipelines to run code analysis using Coverity

Software Subsystem Lead

Python | C | KiCAD

• Contributed to a team of 60+ people for the annual development and launch of a rocket to 30,000 ft
• Increased organization in the Software subsystem by creating a GitHub Project board for issue tracking and by adding branch naming conventions, PR templates and repository Codeowners
• Facilitated development by onboarding new members, breaking down projects into individual issues, creating and maintaining timelines, supporting developers, and reporting progress to team leads
• Augmented data collection capabilities for engine tests and added support for thermocouples by creating electrical schematics and designing PCBs using KiCAD
• Optimized Kalman filter for estimating rocket position during flight by developing C code to convert coordinates between reference frames using rotation matrices
