– Developed software applications for motor control, real time/FPGA controllers,ATE, and other applications using LabVIEW– Interfaced with various forms of NI hardware (cDAQ, cRIO, PXIe, etc) and third-party hardware using various technologies– Functioned as a project manager, meaning I was responsible for overseeing customer project development as well as managing budget– Visited customer sites and hosted on-site customer visits to build relationships and gain further understanding of project requirements– Solved challenging architecture/coding problems individually at times as well as with a team– Performed basic electrical wiring and mechanical fabrication on projects as needed– Tools Used: NI LabVIEW, Microsoft Office Suite tools

- Automated the control of hardware and lab test instruments - e.g. NI PXI systems, NI DAQ, spectrum analyzer, function generator, oscilloscope, power supply, etc. (using LabVIEW)- Developed test applications with LabVIEW for performing functional tests on analog/RF and digital circuit boards- Designed and built test fixtures, cables, and tools used to tests circuit boards and instruments- Experience creating test strategies, executing tests, and writing test plans and procedures- Performed electronic engineering sustaining tasks (end of life component replacement research, first article acceptance testing, test equipment maintenance, etc.) - Added minor PCB changes to existing products to improve design and/or support end of life component replacement - Provided support, training, and feedback to test technicians on a regular basis- Tools Used: NI LabVIEW, PADS Logic/Layout, Microsoft SQL Server, Tortoise SVN, Oracle, Microsoft Office Suite tools, Asana

- Engaged in client driven prototype development and product sustaining engineering- Guided by a senior engineer, I contributed to various PCB designs (schematic capture and layout) using PADS Logic/Layout- Designed basic circuits, created design simulations using LTSpice, tested first articles, and troubleshooted client RMA boards- Embedded programming of AVR MCUs using C/C++ via the Arduino IDE and Atmel Studio - Tools Used: PADS Logic/Layout, LTSpice, Arduino IDE, Atmel Studio, MPLAB
