Electronics Engineer

Electronics Engineer II — Quasar Robotics

San Diego, CA | November 2023 – Present

• Designed 6-layer high-speed PCB layouts for robotics control modules using Altium Designer, reducing signal cross-talk by 28% and board area by 18%.
• Mitigated electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues on sensor interface boards, achieving FCC Part 15 Class B compliance on the first test run and saving $12,000 in re-testing fees.
• Programmed firmware drivers in C++ for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers to handle high-frequency sensor sampling, increasing data throughput by 35%.
• Optimized assembly line yield by applying DFM constraints to component placements in Altium, reducing manufacturing defect rate from 2.4% to 0.6% over a 6-month period.

Electronics Engineer I — AeroVibe Systems

Pasadena, CA | July 2021 – October 2023

• Simulated analog signal conditioning circuits in LTspice to verify stability, which cut initial circuit debugging time by 22% during hardware bring-up.
• Executed comprehensive hardware verification testing on 14 prototype boards using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, identifying 5 critical design flaws before release.
• Drafted system engineering documentation and schematic schematics for aviation sensor units, decreasing onboarding ramp-up time for new team members by 40%.
• Standardized the component library for passives in the company database, reducing duplicate part orders by 33% and saving $4,500 in inventory overhead.
