Designed custom research equipment (cabinet's / cable harnesses / PCBs) to meet customer's needs Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer Footprint creation and component library management Generated BoM for prototype assemblies Produced Gerber files and worked with PCB manufacturers to place PCB orders Created, revised and reposed test procedures for over a hundred electro-mechanical products Populated and reworked prototype PCBs assemblies using soldering iron, solder wick / sucker, lead free solder, loupe (for 0201 semiconductor packages), hot air machine (DFN packages), flux and solder paste. Debugged PCBs to the component level using oscilloscope, DMM and spectrum analyzer Headed a year-long project to revise a dozen products that were using an obsolete MCU. This involved finding a suitable replacement 16-bit MCU, converting firmware from assembly to C, modifying existing schematics and PCBs, implementing new programming strategies for production, and generating documentation for new sub assemblies. Reduced BoM costs and time spent on labor and testing by improving product designs to fill time gaps in the product development cycle.
