EXPERIENCE
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Tucson, Arizona
Product and Test Engineer 2016-2017
Texas Instruments is an analog-based company that develops high-precision amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, etc. I worked in the High-Precision OP-AMP team. I worked on testing Amplifiers and fixing the Handler Interface Boards (HIB) and Contact Interface Boards (CIB). My main roles were:
Utilized two-amp loop and false-summing method to test amplifiers.
Fixed and debugged Handler and Contact Interface Boards, with a detailed understanding of electrical circuits.
Performed full capability study on HIB-CIB diagnostics to establish new limits. Performed testing on Eagle Test Systems.
Added and modified new and old tests respectively in test code, using C++ software.
Conducted data analysis, using Spotfire software.
Worked completely on analog integrated circuits.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT Tempe, Arizona
Virtual Receptionist 2015-2016
The main goal of the project was to create a device that improved the communication between a student and a professor. The device lets the student know the whereabouts of the professor. The project contained the following:
Designed and built a device to establish a wireless connection between professors and students.
The device consisted of an Arduino board connected to a Wi-Fi module and a LED screen.
An anti-theft alarm was also embedded in the device.
Works included programming, wireless connection, circuit design, sensor design, and power adaptation.
Analog Integrated Circuits (AIC) 2016
Analysis, design, and applications of modern analog circuits, using integrated field effect transistor technologies.
Implementation of a complete analog system.
Works required the understanding of single-stage, multi-stage, and differential amplifiers, frequency responses, feedback topology, stability and frequency compensation, and analog layouts.
Digital Signal Circuits (DSC) 2016
Digital logic gate analysis and design. Propagation delay, fan out, power dissipation, and noise margins.
Design of CMOS logic families, including static, dynamic, and pass-gate logic. Inverter, combinational and sequential logic circuit design, CMOS memories, and VLSI circuits.
Simulations of digital circuits and layouts of integrated circuits, using Cadence 6 (HSpice).
Logic Gates, Operational Amplifiers, Diodes, MOS Circuits, and CMOS Analog and Digital Gates Operations 2013-2015
Several operations on various logic gates, amplifiers, diodes, and CMOS chips, utilizing simulating tools like Logicworks, Logisim, PSpice, and Cadence for circuit's simulations.
Single-stage operational amplifiers along with operations on Digital Circuits involving works with DRAM and Cache were built.
Employed Logicworks for logic operations and to build suitable digital logic gate functions to execute combinations of PUN and PDN networks. Gathered several results and observations, which were compiled and reported on regular basis.
Simulations and hardware of single-bit and multiple-bit adders. ALUs were performed, using Logicworks and PSpice. Hardware was done on breadboards. Results and plots were recorded, using oscilloscopes, multimeters, resistor box, voltage, and current sources.
Implementation and simulation of CMOS analog and digital microelectronics circuits and systems, using Cadence.
Digital Signal Processing and Control Systems (under guidance of Dr. Yanchao Zhang and Dr. Andreas Spanias) 2015
Studied and created structures and designs of analog and digital filters, using software like LabVIEW, MATLAB, and JDSP.
Studied real-life applications of spectral analysis algorithms and DSP.
Electromagnetics (under guidance of Dr. Marco Saraniti and Dr. George Pan) 2014-2015
Studied the applications of vector differential and integral operators to electromagnetic theory as well as the fundamentals of electrostatics and magnetostatics.
Observed the characteristics of different materials under the influence of electric and magnetic fields.
Works required the understanding of topics like transmission lines, waveguides, Smith charts, and antennas, both theoretically and experimentally.
VHDL Hardware Design Projects (under guidance of Professor Bassam Matar) 2014
Worked with VHDL language for contemporary design of ASIC and FPGA systems. Projects included CMOS digital logic, VHDL coding and modeling, synthesis and verification, and FPGA design basics. Conducted several test benches to simulate different works, using LED and employing a FPGA.
Designed 4-bit and 8-bit microprocessors, ALUs, and simple-state machines, using VHDL language on Xilinx software and then programming them onto a FPGA board.
Computer Organization and MIPS Assembly Language (under guidance of Professor Ryan Meuth) 2014 (concurrent)
Worked with MIPS assembly language, using software called MARS. Wrote assembly language programs for basic processors to perform simple arithmetic operations.
Worked on single-cycle and pipelined processors with basic schemes of hazard detection and avoidance. Works required understanding the rationale behind memory organizations and the operation of caches.
Solar Panels and Water Wheel Power Generator (under guidance of Amy Throwbridge) 2013
Constructed, as part of a team, a power generator made of a combination of solar panels and a water wheel, utilizing workshop tools, solar panels, motors, gears, pulleys, and software tools such as MATLAB and Excel along with hand-drawn schematics to achieve optimal combination of constituent's products.
Solar panel angles and water wheel performance and position were calculated for maximum power generation, with combination aligned for best voltage and ampere supply. Minimal waste was also taken into consideration. Project was tested against other projects, ranking first for "Most Consistent Power" out of 12 projects.
