EXPERIENCE SUMMARY

• 4+ years of professional experience as Sustaining engineer and Technical Professional Electrical/Electronics for

Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. - Responsible for design, tests, and support/sustenance of analog/mixed signal circuitry,

communication boards used for downhole and surface systems. Diagnosis, troubleshoot, service and repair of electronic

system problems is also commonly performed at regular basis. Requires to provide technical guidelines to drafters and

make judgement calls on minor modifications in the designs whenever needed. Perform research, report generation and

incorporate company quality standards while designing.

• Proficient with applications of Analog Integrated Circuits design like operational amplifiers (opamps), A/D & D/A

converters, sensor circuits, high gain Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) at high frequency & CMOS logic design, driver

circuitry, photo-receiver circuitry, relay switches/circuit breakers

• Adept at schematic drawings, layout generation, Design Rule Check (DRC), Verification of Layout vs. Schematic (LVS)

tests, simulations using software

• Skillful in designing multi-core System on Chip (SoC) projects that involve communication infrastructure for a Network

on Chip (NoC) based system & power optimization of an NoC architecture through error correction techniques using

VHDL hardware programming language

• Built strong expertise with equipment such as oscilloscopes, network, spectrum analyzers,optical modulators/transceivers

• Guided a team of 3-4 members to complete 2 projects by allocating work load, time and discuss issues/challenges in order

to complete project before deadline

• Highly motivated self-starter with multi-tasking abilities, comfortable working both individually and in a team

environment

EDUCATION

• M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Washington State University (WSU), Pullman, WA 2008-2010

• B.E. in Electrical Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, India 2003-2007

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Halliburton Energy Services, Houston, Texas

Technical Professional Electrical/Electronics

• Understanding requirements and developing designs and providing support for various downhole tools

• Research and select components which match the requirements in order to develop circuits

• Prototyping system level circuit supported by simulations for theoretical analysis

• Experimental qualification of the each of the components before being used for the design at room & high temperatures

• Hardware testing and troubleshooting

• PCB design and layout

Implementing Fiber Optic Technology for Telemetry applications to Downhole Tools for Wire Line Services

• Integration of designed & lab-tested electronic circuitry with Fiber Optic components using 1553 databus protocol using

amplitude modulations scheme

• Appropriate selection of components such as transimpedance amplifiers, photodiodes, voltage feedback amplifiers and

gain control circuitry to optimize the electrical signal to ensure the proper operating conditions for optical devices, which

thereby reduces optical power

• Optimization of fiber optic connections to reduce optical power needed to run a system in order to provide utmost safety

• Record observations and maintain lab logs. Document test results for each of the test performed for gate reviews

• Testing and validation of hardware and developing test and inspection procedures

• POC tested with a BER rate of 0 (target rate <10-6) and approved, building a tool by EOY

• Submitted patents to the committee on using fiber optics technology for telemetry application in oil and gas industry

Analog relay switches designed for tools used in perforation operation

• Working on research project which involves shock characterization of perforat ing tool for improvement of existing tool

design specifications and to understand the shock requirements for new tool Designed smart, highly reliable (99.98%),

adaptive and cost effective electrical switches for perforating tools under extreme shock condit ions

• Perform integrated system test, field test, a complete life cycle process, before the tool is commercialized and documented

the results in lab logs and internal reports
