Project Experience

Areas of Expertise
PCBA Component Test System
Developed self-diagnostics to verify test system was operating properly, later joined test development team. Designed 5th–7th revision of test system PCB to accommodate new features on upcoming versions of the PCBA.
LabVIEW · LabVIEW RT · LabVIEW FPGA · PXI · Switch · SMU · DAQ · I2C · SPI
Multimedia Test System
Acted as software lead to develop an end of line manufacturing test system for multimedia devices. Tests included audio (tone), audio (speech), video (static test pattern), video (decoding & playback quality), and IR remote control tests.
LabVIEW · Vision · DSA
Functional Verification Tester
Developed 2nd generation manufacturing test software for National Instruments FieldPoint and Compact FieldPoint product lines.
LabVIEW · TestStand · SCXI · PXI · DMM · Switch · Serial · IVI
Cable Validation
Created a replacement for an existing cable tester built in the 1980s that was no longer serviceable. Documentation for original test system was solely reverse engineered schematics of the custom PCBs.
LabVIEW · Switch · SMU · DAQ · IVI · HI-Potential Tester
Gas Panel Test System
Created a modular system to test multiple types of gas panel flow control systems used for semiconductor fabrication.
LabVIEW · PXI · MXI · DAQ · DeviceNet · Serial · Switch
Processor Characterization System
Created a characterization framework allowing multiple parameters to be varied to observe performance and collect data from new processors. Included a standardized TCP/IP communication protocol allowing Ruby and Python interactions to devices under test.
LabVIEW · TestStand · Thermal Controllers
RF Semiconductor Characterization System
Created a characterization framework to test RF semiconductor silicon under varying instrument parameters.
LabVIEW · GPIB · Serial
In-Flight Data Logger
Created a data logger for in-flight data collection of flight and engine parameters to validate installation of alternate engine types.
LabVIEW RT · CompactDAQ · CAN
Aircraft Engine Manufacturing Line Control
Retrofitted and troubleshot the control system used to re-plate aircraft engine cylinders.
LabVIEW · LabVIEW RT · LabVIEW DSC · Compact FieldPoint
Biomass Pyrolysis Research Reactor
Created the software to control a biomass pyrolysis research reactor.
LabVIEW · LabVIEW RT · LabVIEW FPGA · Modbus · Serial · PLC · Thermal Controllers · Motor Controllers
Environmental Test Control
Created the software to control multiple temperature and vibration chambers.
LabVIEW · Serial · Modbus · PLCs
HALT/HASS Software
Created software to run diagnostics inside devices undergoing HALT & HASS testing in order to detect device failures.
