• Selecting and testing the motor, ESC, and battery for a competition RC aircraft by building a power budget and running static thrust tests against the mission requirements.
• Designing the aircraft’s wiring harness and power distribution, including connector selection, servo/ESC routing, and current-rated wire gauges, and bench-checking continuity and voltage drop before integration.

• Developing the power distribution and avionics wiring for an autonomous fixed-wing UAS, integrating the flight controller, GPS, telemetry radio, and companion computer on a regulated power bus.
• Designing and testing custom PCBs in Altium for sensor and power interfacing, and validating boards with a DMM, oscilloscope, and DC supply before flight integration.

• Contributing to designing and reviewing avionics PCBs for a student-built spacecraft in Altium, from schematic capture and ERC through layout, DRC, and fabrication output files.

• Designed a unity-gain, second-order Sallen-Key low-pass filter (10 kΩ/10 kΩ, 22 nF/11 nF) and verified a 1.023 kHz −3 dB cutoff in an LTspice AC sweep using a .meas command against the 1,023 Hz hand calculation. Learn more →
• Converted the design into a two-layer PCB in KiCad, selecting real parts (TL071 op-amp, C0G capacitors, parallel 10 nF + 1 nF for the non-stock 11 nF value) and adding rail decoupling.
• Captured and verified the schematic with ERC, then placed and routed the board with dual ground pours and thermal reliefs; passed DRC with zero violations and zero unconnected nets. Learn more →
