As an Electrical Engineering Intern on the Iridium hardware development team, I worked to: — Perform SPICE simulations to analyze components under DO-160 standard test conditions— Refine and append existing board bring-up procedures to maximize process efficiency— Write Python scripts to increase the readability and usability of hardware test results— Produce SDU I2C and SPI bus maps in Visio for preliminary design review— Develop test procedures for key performance indicator testing on satellite data units (SDU) using Linux OS— Review circuit schematics and PCB layout files to ensure designs matched manufacturer recommendations— Calibrate and test hardware components using power meters, mixed-signal oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators
