      I designed and tested VR controller and headset enclosures for the company’s ultralow power ultrasonic sensor. I also created a more stable and reliable test bed for assessing the quality of enclosures which used company’s sensors.

      I designed and programmed a diagnostic system to determine the proximity to and failure of a syringe pump. To do this I created a complex state-machine program to gather data on a syringe as it was run, from a brand new state, to complete failure.

      Redesigned a singulated-die-test-socket, also known as a socket lid, to reduce its cost. The new design will be used in the future as a basis for any new die which the customer desires a socket lid for. New socket lids were made for four different die for one customer, requiring changes for each die-specific lid. Tolerances on the placement of springs, which connect the dies to the circuit boards, are tight and the current location method is potentially not accurate enough for newer, smaller… Show more Redesigned a singulated-die-test-socket, also known as a socket lid, to reduce its cost.

      Design, Assembled, and programmed a tabletop endurance tester for sockets. This device was specifically created to test a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) contact socket. However it is designed to be capable of performing the same tests with any socket given small modifications. To allow for easy customization, better gripping, and to prevent damage to delicate components, the end effectors were made of a 3-D printed elastomer. To fabricate the end effectors, a complete process for 3-D… Show more Design, Assembled, and programmed a tabletop endurance tester for sockets.
