Designs and validates test fixtures for production stage analysis of new printed circuit assemblies. Writes test scripts to control automated testers and collect data for archival and analysis purposes.

Developed test plans and protocols for formal hardware V&V testing; created part specifications, drawings, and assembly diagrams; executed test protocols and performed data analysis and reporting on collected data, including tolerance limit analysis, reliability testing, goodness-of-fit and tests for normality, and data transformations.

Evaluated faulty components and performed root cause analysis to mitigate or prevent future failures. Performed development testing on existing devices to investigate avenues for product improvement. Worked with service personnel to determine efficient diagnostic and repair strategies. Worked with Quality Manager to incorporate new tests and procedures into existing quality management system.

Assisted product development engineers with development testing and fault analysis. Performed verification and validation testing on new products. Used MATLAB to analyze test data and presented reports on analyzed data in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Visio, and Microsoft Excel. Designed test fixtures using SolidWorks CAD software. Supported design assurance team in all aspects of the product design cycle from development to launch.

Worked with representatives from UTSA and NI to integrate LabView and myDAQ tools into engineering coursework.

Assisted the engineering staff in improving the efficiency and ease-of-use of existing troubleshooting and repair documentation; initiated new procedures and protocols to simplify technical training. Created Gantt charts for process tracking using Microsoft Project.

Assisted Design Assurance team in performing verification and validation testing on medical devices prior to FDA approval; assisted research and development team with development of test protocols and fixtures; presented verification and validation data reports using MatLab, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.

Repaired, serviced, and maintained electronic cash registers and point-of-sale computers, troubleshooting faulty systems at the component level using devices such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, digital multimeters, and power monitoring equipment; performed through-hole and surface mount soldering tasks, including occasional fine-pitch work under a microscope; built custom assemblies and circuits for specialized point-of-sale peripheral systems; performed additional technical and programming work where required.Developed hardware interface for direct keyboard control of kitchen monitors in a restaurant.Developed user-controlled interface for multiport serial adapters for point-of-sale applications.Developed automated interface for processing of credit or debit cards and check verification.
