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, enabling testing of 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 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 | I2C | DediProg | OpenOCD

• Developed firmware for an AI Accelerator Card (PCIe Gen5 x16), enabling key features such as power sequencing, temperature sensing, power monitoring, and fan control, using the I2C and PMBus protocols
• Brought-up first batch of cards by writing firmware, conducting hardware checks, flashing PMICs, power sequencers and ASICs, and debugging issues, achieving fully booted cards in under 3 days
• Researched and proposed switching a voltage rail from single-phase to dual-phase, potentially reducing power loss by 46% and increasing efficiency by 10%

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
