As a Principal Engineer for the Reliability and Safety group on a multi-million dollar satellite communication (SATCOM) avionics system, I led efforts to ensure the system's compliance with customer and design requirements. One of my key accomplishments was the successful creation and execution of an NSEE test plan, which helped identify potential single event effects and mitigate risks.In my role, I conducted extensive research on integrated circuits (ICs) to determine their sensitivities to NSEE, as well as their internal structures and functions. I maintained a comprehensive database of ICs, which included sensitivity information such as cross-sections and details of internal structures and functions. I collaborated closely with design and safety engineers to develop reliability and safety requirements, proposing mitigation techniques, parts selection, design of experiments, and other activities related to design support and NSEE analysis and testing.I also played a critical role in the reliability enhancement testing (RET) of avionics hardware. Utilizing environmental test chambers as part of the design and development process, I identified deficiencies and implemented corrective actions to address those deficiencies, resulting in increased design robustness margins by over 6%.Additionally, I led efforts in environmental stress screening (ESS) planning and execution, ensuring that products were delivered and introduced into service without latent defects. This helped reduce customer returns and early field failures in over 75% of products tested.Finally, I developed data analysis and visualization tools using MS Excel and Matlab to reduce data analysis time by over 20%.
