A FEW PROJECTS1. Recloser cables: customers were requesting for test cables, I assisted in this project and my tasks were to research the functionality of the cable, protection circuit used in the application, and create assembly drawings. I collaborated with a custom cable manufacturer to deliver these cables in 10 months.2. PCB layout for buck converter: this was to be the first stage in a two-stage power converter for a battery simulator project. My tasks were to create the schematic… Show more A FEW PROJECTS1. Recloser cables: customers were requesting for test cables, I assisted in this project and my tasks were to research the functionality of the cable, protection circuit used in the application, and create assembly drawings. I collaborated with a custom cable manufacturer to deliver these cables in 10 months.2. PCB layout for buck converter: this was to be the first stage in a two-stage power converter for a battery simulator project. My tasks were to create the schematic capture, PCB layout, fabrication of this board, and testing thereafter. All boards manufactured at the time worked the first time and were successfully integrated with the other boards of the system.3. Design verification test of a two-stage digital controlled power converter (Buck, Buck-Boost): I was responsible for bringing up, testing & improvising circuits to verify functionality the prototype. At the end of four months the product was delivered with hardware improvement (PCB respin) and firmware improvement (FW 1.0 – 1.4).Regular responsibilitiesFabricated test fixtures and developed innovative testing methodologies for prototypes and established electronic products.Adhered to Corrective Action Resolution (CAR) procedures to initiate Engineering Change Orders (ECO).Performed analog and power PCB layout for electronic circuit boards.Conducted PCB rework and repair by component swapping and replacement on prototype or faulty boards.Delivered sustaining engineering assistance, employing root-cause analysis on current products encountering field challenges (e.g., damaged amplifiers, power supplies, communication circuits such as Ethernet and USB) in collaboration with clients Show less
