• Verified the accuracy of converting OrCAD schematics for QD4000 Main Board and Personality Schematics to Altium, involving text edits, part and value verification against BOM, and correction of connectivity issues.
• Demonstrated an encoder knob circuit with Analog Discovery 3 for Waveforms Wavegen frequency control (using automated scripts), enabling operators to adjust frequency parameters with variable step sizes and dynamic or.
• Conducted LTSpice simulations for PPS film circuits in QD2000 and QD4000, analyzing the impact of parasitic resistance due to water intrusion on capacitors (during PCB manufacturing process) using AC analysis and Bode.

• Calculated final mass estimate for flight-ready RipCurl cables using BOMs, CAD drawings, and part manufacturing specs to ensure product met requirements.
• Enhanced the move stability of an azimuth motor by analyzing jitter suppression using absolute encoders for speed and position data.
• Drafted cable drawings for Quetzal hardware interconnect.

Wilmington, Massachusetts, United States

• Prepared rooms for projects by conducting inventory, cleaning up rooms, and gathering equipment.
• Created and maintained a Bill of Materials to ensure inventory accuracy and proper tracking.
• Worked alongside senior electrical/control engineers to observe their day-to-day operations and gain valuable experience.

Lowell, Massachusetts, United States

• Worked over the course of the 2021 summer with PeARL Robotics to develop a gridworld baseline for artificial intelligence.
• Developed a program in Python producing an environment with obstacles and goals which would serve as a "playground" for testing algorithms.
• Implemented learning algorithms that guide an agent to a goal while navigating obstacles. These algorithms comprise a move function, a value function, a reward function, a policy function, and an animate function.
