• Builds prototype flight circuit boards that will navigate and command SpaceX's Starship and Super Heavy booster.• Programs, operates and maintains the CNC conformal coat, x-ray inspection, AOI inspection, epoxy application and depanel machines.• Directly works with production, software and PCBA design engineers on creating processes, tooling and PCB designs that efficiently increase daily production rate, reduce cost, and meet DFM standards.• Experienced in Class 3 soldering, x-ray and AOI SMT inspection, epoxy application, encapsulation, conformal coating and manual masking via both hand and automated systems.• IPC-610 and J-Standard Certified (including the new space addendum).• Works directly with automated machine vendors on getting custom machine upgrades, maintain routine maintenance, troubleshoot any known issues and keep up-to-date on product and software that would benefit SpaceX's production rate.

Hawthorne, California, United States

• Builds flight circuit board hardware directly from product drawings, BOM instructions and additional written instructions from the engineering team.• Class 3 electronic certified to work directly on and handle space grade hardware and NASA certified missions. • IPC 610 and IPC 600 Certified • Epoxy and Masking via hand application to both Flight and R&D PCBA's. • Operates and maintains both the CNC automated masking system and automated depanel machine. • Directly works with engineering on methods of production and PCBA design that will increase overall production rate, while decreasing cost. • Created a prototype fixture that helped support technicians in holding a delicate product while applying Staking material to the product's component. Additional modifications were made to this prototype fixture, but after additional testing the fixture was implemented into SpaceX's final production line for that product. Fixture was found to reduce risk of handling damages; while overall production time was reduced by 5x the original completion estimate. • Credited with 50+ successful missions (Crew and Non-Crew) as of 9/22. Many more to come!• Instructs incoming new hires, interns and fellow team members on proper methods of staking, encapsulation and masking a wide verities of PCBA components and through hole connectors. • Maintains inventory stock of syringes, epoxies, needles and other supplies by constantly ordering ahead of incoming PCBA schedules to ensure high production rates can be maintained and flight missions can be met.• Supports Starship and Raptor teams with circuit board production during times of high volume.

Irvine, California, United States

• Lead A/V technician for Canon Business Process Services at Kia Motors USA.• Staff photographer for Kia's product launch, senior management conferences and company events.• Editor for all in-house event photo and video post processing.• Directs, installs and educates the Kia Motors staff with technical and product information relating to photography, cinema projector calculations, studio lighting installation and online virtual presentations (VMRs).• During the COVID-19 pandemic, in charge of programing the Aurora Tauri temperature tablets to accurately read Kia employee's temperature, display Kia digital signage content, create static IP addresses and program the overall layout of the Aurora Tauri's interface design to better meet Kia's demands. Bridged the Aurora Tauri's thermo sensor from the "admin" interface design onto the Aurora Tauri tablet's "Questionnaire" interface. Restructured and created iframe attributes within the working "Questionnaire" interface to allow the end user's ability to change digital content as desired without the need to fully reprogram the Aurora Tauri software each time. Also creates internal training content, instructional meetings and network health reports for all of Kia's regional offices and technical training centers across the United States.• Negotiates needed equipment and arranges media related equipment sales between outside vendors and Kia Motors USA.
