• Test Technician

  • 2014 - 2014

  Test camera system reading flow cell and analyze the results. Report to upper management at meetings on the data. Prototype testing flow cell sealing adhesives, techniques, and designs for calibration. •The primary tasks of this position involved operation and testing of optics components and subassemblies, and their integration with other system elements, including mechanical, fluidic, electrical, chemistry, and software sub-systems. •Assist in developing plans, conducting tests and performing preliminary analyses. •I redesigned a flow-cell layout to better seal fluid ports with pressure relief. •Ran automated optical tests and analyzed the output to compare and correlate C code vs Matlab code outputs. •I ran tests ranging from life testing, HALT, drop tests, repeatability and reproducibility by compiling and analyzing data in Excel, and interpreting average, standard deviations, and absolute magnitude differences, graphing trends using scatter plots. •I ran experiments and kept detailed notes and data. I learned absorption/emission spectra of specific organic dyes for testing and helped pick the correct dye and dial in desired concentrations for our application. •I worked independently to plan and organize with other team members for equipment and test time to get work done as a group. •I really enjoyed the collaboration atmosphere here, where everyone is very eager to help and teach each other to support the project.
