Principal Electrical Engineer
Houston, Texas, Us
Designed embedded firmware and electronics for instrumentation grade logging-while-drilling (LWD) and wireline formation evaluation instruments, including resistivity imaging, NMR, ultrasonic, and navigation sensors. Utilized real time operating systems, embedded Linux, flash file systems, TCP/IP stacks, and digital signal processing techniques. Responsible for digital electronics (microcontroller, DSP, FPGA, data conversion), analog sensor interfacing and filtering, basic power supply design and system integration. Integrated software and hardware using in-circuit debuggers, emulators, trace tools and hardware simulators. Leveraged modeling software such as Matlab and Simulink to model and verify algorithms Managed multi-location technology development programs, budget responsible up to $500k/year. Became domain expert on high temperature electronics design (up to 230C), qualification practices and industry trends
