A Bit About Me
I am a Hardware Design Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing ATE hardware and mechanical components in the semiconductor industry. I am passionate about creating products that are engaging, elegant, and intuitive.
I have 7 years of experience with CAD software (SolidWorks – CSWA; currently working toward CSWP) designing parts for various projects, 6 years of experience in programming and data analysis using MATLAB and Python, 4 years of experience with FEA Simulation (SolidWorks Simulation, LS-DYNA, HyperMesh, and Abaqus), and 4 years of experience with Six Sigma (JMP).
​
At the moment, I am actively seeking full-time positions in the consumer electronics, semiconductor, and automotive industries. However, I am open to all opportunities in the field of mechanical engineering.
