WORK
EXPERIENCE
Joby Aviation
Motor Control & Embedded Firmware Consultant
Santa Cruz, CA
Jun. 2014 - Dec. 2014
* Facilitated precision motor control utilizing TI instaSPIN-FOC and MOTION technology for revolutionary all-electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft
* Wrote, debugged, and tested low-level drivers for sensor and actuator integration into avionic/mechatronic systems
* Established controlled area network (CAN) communications across various embedded platforms
* Amended support and test software in Linux for the Paparazzi UAV autopilot system
National Trenchless Technology Center
Research Engineer, Electromagnetics Lab
Ruston, LA
May 2011 – Mar. 2014
* Implemented peripheral device drivers for a CMOS ultra-wideband radar transceiver
* Developed a standalone, real-time configurable data logging and rudimentary signal processing system for a near-field imaging sensor using TI C2000 DSPs
* Integrated various sensory devices (i.e. encoders, inertial measurement units, laser profilers, etc.) into a remote embedded data acquisition board and formulated machine learning derived algorithms from the gathered multi-sensor information
* Designed and programmed LabView and MATLAB based GUIs directed at data collection, visualization, signal processing, image analysis, and/or motion control for numerous projects and applications
* Lead engineer on in-pipe lateral detection project; duties included but were not limited to task delegation, inventory research and procurement, budget and development timeline planning, prototype design and fabrication, circuit drafting, and programming
Halliburton Energy Services
Engineering Intern, Logging & Perforating Technology
Houston, TX
Summers 2004/2005
* Assembled and repaired, as well as high-temp and shock tested, PCBs designated for down-hole wireline tools
* Designed and populated support circuits for next-gen logging telemetry transceivers
* Troubleshot and improved the quasi-1553 bus protocol, optimizing the data integrity and field performance of tool-to-surface communications
GRADUATE
WORK
National Trenchless Technology Center
Research Associate – Electrical Engineering
Nov. 2006 – May 2011
* Thesis focused on the development of a sub-nanosecond impulse radar system to detect and classify buried utilities and conduits ahead of an excavating backhoe bucket
* Created a support vector machine (SVM) driven buried pipe characterization utility
* Designed and implemented the motor control system and GUI for a prototype, cost-effective, multi-DOF experimental ground penetrating radar apparatus
* Developed Java based magnetism and hall effect computational models to conduct impact mole autonomous steering simulations
Neural Systems & Signals Laboratory
Research Associate – Biomedical Engineering
Feb. 2007 – Apr. 2011
* Worked on a novel artificial-biological hybrid neural network infused with hippocampal cell dynamics; the proposed paradigm would emulate neuronal populations within damages areas of the brain caused by degenerative, cerebrovascular, or convulsive neurological disorders, thus restoring cognitive or motor functionalities
