PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

ASML Wilton, CTNov 2015 - Present

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER: Designed power and signal distribution circuits/PCBs conforming to NFPA standards for industrial photolithography systems. Ran hardware verification, created test procedures and hardware. Worked independently to design signal conditioning and power distribution circuitry. Led a team effort to retrofit existing photolithography units with upgraded sensors, conduct acceptance testing, and implement design improvements.

 

U.S. Army Armament Research, Development & Engineering CenterPicatinny Arsenal, NJ June 2015 - Nov. 2015             

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER: Designed small form factor telemetry circuits for high g environments. This included simulation, schematic capture, prototyping, acceptance testing, and troubleshooting analog & digital sensor circuits down to the component level along with full system integration on devices to be fielded. Worked independently to design and implement signal conditioning circuitry on existing telemetry units resulting in increased measurement precision. Worked in a team environment to design, prototype, and field a small form factor PCB health monitoring system allowing us to better diagnose PCB failure modes.

 

Boeing Defense, Space, & SecurityBerkeley, MOJan. 2013 - Aug. 2014

EE SYSTEMS DESIGN ENGINEER: Designed and tested avionics including vehicle management systems, and fiber optic Ethernet data link. Created test procedures, hardware, software, and ran unit verification, acceptance testing, and system integration. Worked independently to create a test system for a MIL-STD-1553 to Ethernet data processing unit resulting in advance delivery of aircraft upgrades. Worked in a team environment across disciplines to debug and improve product performance through software & hardware analysis and prototyping, resulting in improvements to reliability, data rate, and power consumption.

 

Tervela Inc.Acton, MAMay 2012 - Sept. 2012

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INTERN: Worked with Apache Hadoop to investigate and develop distributed computing applications for high throughput real time asynchronous data processing.

 

UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE:

ECE 492, Autonomous River Robot Design Project, Lafayette CollegeEaston, PAJan. 2012 - May 2012

LEAD OPTICAL SENSOR SYSTEM DESIGNER: Led the design, fabrication, and testing of an infrared light tracking and navigation system for an autonomous jet propelled river robot used for water quality measurements. System consists of a turret-mounted photodetector, an omnidirectional IR beacon, along with PCBs with analog and digital circuitry. The photo-detector tracks via a feedback control loop tracking the beacon's angular position.

 

Lafayette College Excel ResearchEaston, PAMay 2011 - Dec. 2011

LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER: Led development of a tablet-based app on both the iOS and Android platforms for the geology department with an interdisciplinary team of student researchers. Led group meetings to implement and edit design ideas. Developed prototypes and iterated to release versions for software deployment and maintenance. Final product is currently on Apple's App Store and in use by Lafayette College's Geology department and its collaborators.

 

ECE 491, Wi-Fi Communications Board Design Project, Lafayette CollegeEaston, PAFall 2011

TEAM LEADER: Led design of a FPGA based Wi-Fi like wireless communications board that interfaces with a PC via RS-232. Developed firmware in Verilog to coordinate sending, receiving, and error correction based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard, created self-checking test benches for simulation, and hardware verification on the Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA.
