Served as primary hardware design engineer on re-design and production release of UHF Satcom system. Managed part selection and replacement, performed design updates, and debugged and revised 100W transmit amplifier subsystem.Performed Worst Case Circuit Analysis on RF chain of space payload program.Developed parasitic antenna array system using tuned reactive loads. Executed CST simulations and MATLAB processing of antenna range data to compare results to theory for model tuning.Designed 2W C-band upconverter front end module.

Led analog and digital circuit design of distributed logic and power system. Managed all board design, part selection, fabrication/assembly, and documentation. Created all test setups for power testing and bringup.Designed RF amplification PCB for low profile, EMI-shielded LNA.Worked with RF devices, familiarity with RF test procedures and equipment.Redesigned existing SDR board, improved power supply design and high speed signal routing, added debug interfaces, reduced component footprint for space efficiency.Created and maintained Altium schematic/footprint part libraries.

Designed and constructed Skee Ball-style arcade game run on an Arduino Microcontroller. Designed and implemented all electronic hardware and software. Selected, calibrated, and wired sensors to detect when a ball hits one of the targets, as well as provide visual LED feedback. Built C++ libraries of class objects for the sensors as well as the seven segment LED displays used to show the time and score. Wrote the code to cycle through the displays. Designed and implemented a high side driver transistor switch to provide the LED displays 12V power.
