Working with enterprise customers (large datacenters) to qualify HDD products and provide technical support, testing, reliability, and failure analysis.

Oversaw products for datacenter deployments as a product manager.

Coded system to process millions of customer drive logs into a database on a daily basis. Improved product quality and customer support.

Created custom hardware/software tests in Linux/Windows to test data storage hardware according to customer specs.

Working on validating and testing HDD preamp chips from vendors. I maintain test code in TCL which pulls data from instruments via GPIB/TCP and analyzes data. I write new tests and fix older broken code. Experience in power supply rejection ratio studies, gain bandwidth, noise floor measurements, ensuring linearity in preamp DAC changes, FPGA programming via VHDL, creating GUI's and tests in Python/TCL. I also summarize power consumption and linearity of the IC DACS. I work on FPGAs with VHDL to control the IC.

2013-2018 - Test Engineer on Guzik Spinstand System

• Worked as a head/media test engineer for ~4.5 years

• Characterized performance of head/media combinations

• Optimized channel and other parameters for new products

• Investigated performance issues such as adjacent track interference, thermal decay of magnetic data, and heads crashing into media

• Wrote Python based modules for testing areal density (bits per in^2)

• Delegated tasks to three technicians who ran tests

I had a summer engineering internship with WDC. During this time I was put in charge of setting up 10 new hard drive testing systems which are used to test different headstacks in the same drive. I would work with different engineering groups and ran many parametric tests on the drives.
