• Developed, maintained, and improved test automation software for design verification testing and calibration of RF cellular boosters.
• Tested Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), Spurious Emissions, Spectral Emission Mask, Noise Figure, Ripple, and Power Accuracy using a Spectrum Analyzer, Signal Generator, and power supply.
• Used Vector Network Analyzer to measure S-parameters and insertion loss.
• Created a Python tool involving data analysis, Tkinter GUIs, graphical plots, and automating XML file generation for calibration testing.
• Created a VBA GUI macro to automate Excel PivotCharts and PowerPoint.
• Used LabVIEW with SQL database queries to develop weekly factory reports of multiple product yields, error codes, and pareto charts.

• Created instrument drivers in Python for lab test automation equipment such as Spectrum Analyzer, Signal Generator, Power Supply, and Temperature Chamber.
• Updated and committed Python code to the master repository using GitLab.
• Investigated communciation issue with an FTDI (USB-to-Serial) chip using PyVISA library and logic analyzer to measure digital JTAG data.
• Used oscilloscope, voltage probes, current probe, and DC electric load to troubleshoot buck converter transient response.
• Administered Error Vector Magnitude, Noise Figure, TX Output Power, P1dB, and Phase Noise tests for the Hermes H2 transceiver module, post-processed data, and submitted analysis to Design Engineers.
• Responsible for the bringup of the process sensor, temperature sensors, and master bias for the chip using register settings with Python.

• Tested the pressure, temperature, and magnetic functions of magnetometer cryostats.
• Tested optional measurement add-ons such as Heat Capacity, AC/DC Resistivity, AC Susceptibility, Vibrating Sample Measurement, and Horizontal Rotator (hall sensor).
• Tested modular electronic boards using ATE software and troubleshooted failures using a multimeter and circuit schematics. Replaced bad chips, resistors, inductors, and capacitors using soldering iron and re-tested.
• Troubleshooted hardware and software issues, wrote test procedures, and trained new employees.
• Used Python libraries (pandas, numpy, matplotlib) to read and write data files, create scatterplots, and analyze pass/fail limits.
• Used Python’s Selenium library to generate PDFs and webscrape/automate data entry in their intranet.

• Built and tested a spiral pulse generator for internship project. Using a 1.8V battery as my input voltage, the output voltage was measuring ~390V using an oscilloscope. Presented project to senior management.
• Assembled mini capacitors with dielectric samples in Capacitors Lab, tested for breakdown voltage, calculated capacitance, and compared measurements to datasheet specifications.
• Wrote MATLAB programs to send SCPI commands for automating lab instruments.
