WORK EXPERIENCE

Electrical Engineer August 2015-August 2017

National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, (Key Biscayne, FL) Electronic hardware design, implementation and project support for the Physical Oceanography Division at the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory for NOAA.

• Developed, engineered and implemented a new expendable bathythermograph data recorder system. This state-of-the-art hardware allows for an ~80x reduction in operational cost (>$80,000/yr.) as well as an increase in sampling capability enabling increased accuracy in temperature profiles. Design included schematic capture, PCB layout and mechanical hardware as well as firmware creation and implementation.

• Created several in-house applications using C/C++, as well as MATLAB in order to validate experiments or calibrate sensor accuracy. MATLAB was used as a rapid prototyping tool for design validation and calculations.

• Created and implemented a wireless (RF), irradiance measurement station. Design once again included schematic capture, PCB layout and mechanical hardware as well as firmware creation and implementation. THOMAS SEVILLA

SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS

Expendable Bathythermograph Data Recorder

Spearheaded the creation of an USB enabled device capable of high sampling rates while still maintaining 24-Bit accuracy. This was used as the A/D foundation for an RTD circuit used to measure ocean temperature profiles. Spatially Aware Noise Cancelling Headphones

(Bachelors Thesis) Developed a circuit which canceled out background noise yet simultaneously let speech pass through the headset whenever the listener was in a conversation with another individual. Additionally, the headphones dim incoming audio while passing the speakers voice through to the user. PUBLICATIONS
