• Junior Hardware Engineer

  • Mar 2022 - Present

  One of PassMark Software's main focusses is in developing solutions for computer benchmarking and fault diagnosis. The hardware aspect of the company works on creating devices that can be connected to electronic devices, typically the ports on a computer, which stress test data transfer and/or measure voltages to ensure the relevant specifications are met. These products are usually used for quality assurance procedures, and my responsibilities included maintaining and improving these devices, as well as doing research and development into ways to test new emerging standards. This role has involved: - Developing Windows applications to provide a user friendly interface for the hardware products, written in C++ and using the Win32 API. This included adding new features / bug fixes, restructuring the code base to be more modular and use the C++ Standard Template Library (STL), and developing a new application from the ground up. - Adding new features and fixing bugs in the firmware of the hardware products, written in C for 32bit ST microcontrollers. - Sourcing and liaising with manufacturers to produce products. - Writing user manual documents for products. - Providing support to customers directly via email. Support emails included inquiries about the products, technical support, arranging repairs / replacement products, and receiving feature requests.

  • Jan 2021 - May 2021

  2021 began with a team of mostly new members, as well as the preference to start the software from scratch. A minimum viable product was developed, which consisted of two ROS nodes: a node to map joystick inputs to command velocities, and a node to map command velocities to individual wheel speeds. As software lead, my roles were:- Determine what functionality was required for the minimum viable product.- Ensure good software practices were followed.- Aid new members in learning ROS and feeling comfortable within the team

  Course: Advanced Autonomous Systems (MTRN4010) Topics covered in the course include state estimation, sensor data fusion, non-linear control, and machine learning techniques. This role involved me: - Communicating with students to discover knowledge gaps and sources of confusions. - Breaking down complex topics and then explaining them clearly to students. - Marking of assignment tasks.

  VIP Project: Off World Robotics Course Code: ENGG2600 / ENGG3600 / ENGG4600: VIP Projects are a new type of course at UNSW introduced in 2020 aimed at giving students practical industrial experience. Off World Robotics (Formerly under BLUEsat) is one of these projects where a group of 20 students design and build a rover to compete in the Australian Rover Competition. As a senior member I have: - Provided consultation sessions with students to aid them in their assignment tasks. - Creating and presenting fusion 360 training sessions to students. - Developing and marking of assignment tasks. - Organising induction sessions for student access to university equipment. - Designed a rover chassis and suspension system using Fusion 360. - Manufactured components of a prototype rover using hand tools, a drill press, and a manual mill.

  • Nov 2018 - Feb 2020

  Built a mars rover to compete in the 2019 European Rover Challenge and currently building a new rover to compete in the University Rover Challenge and European Rover Challenge in 2021. Some of the features of the rover include a manipulation device, autonomous navigation and performing soil analysis. As part of the team I have: - Travelled to Poland for the 2019 ERC Competition where I helped with reassembling the rover, making final adjustments and repairs and co-piloted the rover during competition tasks. - Manufactured a small functional prototype rover over the summer break. - Worked on improving the localisation system using AR tag recognition and ORB SLAM. - Attended weekly droving sessions where to practice driving and maintenance of the rover. - Assisted new members in understanding the rover’s existing software, ROS and fitting in the society. - Documented work on the project using Jira and Confluence.
