Scaling production test infrastructure & Testing satellites before sending them to space!

As a Senior Software Engineer and cross-functional collaborator, I drove the development of an SWQA system using Python, Jenkins, and Ansible, while collaborating with various engineering/operations teams to expand and improve test automation tools across the company.

My technical contributions include:

• I led the development of a SWQA system using Jenkins/Ansible - using the QA system I created pipelines that automated integration/validation of manufacturing softwares on a nightly basis.

• I developed Python/Linux-based solutions focused on test system management and manufacturing features. This includes integrating 3rd party services using HTTP-based APIs for data reporting features.

I was a leader for a variety of projects:

• I initiated a partnership with UCSC to create two Senior capstone projects to develop two new pieces of technology for my Test Engineering department. After the school year ended, I mentored and managed students whom we hired as interns.

• I actively engaged with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to promote new initiatives and opportunities for leveraging Test Engineering automation tools, including the QA system my team and I developed.

Lead the development of Manufacturing Test Systems of ChargePoint's DC products for assembly testing of products prior to shipment to customers. My main responsibilities included:

• Engineered and managed test software using Python/Github within a Linux environment to run manufacturing tests on complex DC products.

• Worked with product design teams to defined test coverage requirements for hardware products.

• Architected test system hardware and instrumentation, with a focus on modularity of hardware components and simplified software interfaces. Worked with vendors to ensure test solutions met needs of the company.

• Lead the bringup and validation of test systems at HQ, and successful deployment of test systems on manufacturing lines in California and Mexico.

• Provided diagnostics and resolution of test issues, with aim of increasing units per hour (UPH) and first pass yield (FPY).

Responsible for the system level design of PCBs in ethernet switching systems used for metropolitan area networks. Oversee electronic product development through all stages including initial research and analyzing tradeoffs, system design and schematic capture, hardware bring up, and supporting manufacturing when moving into production.

• Design 26-layer PCBs that integrate 50G ethernet, optical transceivers, PCIe, I2C, and others.

• Perform schematic capture using Cadence and collaborate with CAD engineer to design PCB layout.

• Design test hardware for functional verification of switch products during development and production.

• Conduct hardware bring-up during prototyping while working with diagnostics to develop test software.

• Collaborate with signal integrity, software, and mechanical teams to ensure successful product integration.

• Assist in design verification to stress hardware systems’ power and thermal boundaries.

Lead the development of a high-voltage electronic system for specialized device fabrication and utilized system to conduct research on novel microfluidic sensors and devices. Development of experimental setups using LabVIEW, mainly in instrumental control and data acquisition. Began as undergraduate (2016) and continued into graduate studies (2017)

• Design, layout, and fabrication of experimental setup, which applies high voltage (12 kV) to a crystal sample while monitoring its electrical response.

• Designed and lead experiments to test and characterize microfluidic medical devices using microscopy.

• Created experimental setups using LabVIEW to interface with photodetectors, cameras, and I/O devices.

• AutoCAD used for layout of microfluidic devices and other mechanical components.
