Engineering Experience:
Electrical Engineering Intern January 2015 - May 2015
Rockwell Collins Cedar Rapids, IA
Salary: $22.50/hr
Reference: Paul Chinski
Phone: 319-***-****
Email: ********@*****.***
Reason for leaving: Contract period ended
Responsibilities: I coordinated with customers to upgrade circuit board components. I assessed power supply Modules both as a team and by myself in order to locate faults in circuits. I developed a new version of a front-end circuit testing station using Visual Basics 5. I operated test stations to verify component integrity of I2C housekeeping circuit components.
Engineering Tutor September 2014 – February 2015
The University of Iowa College of Engineering Iowa City, IA
Salary: $8.50/hr
Reason for leaving: Needed to put priority on internship at Rockwell and my school work
Guided student through problem solving procedures for analysis of basic and complex Circuits, Physics and Math.

Reference: Kyle Goetzelmann
Phone: Office 847-***-****
Email: ************@**********.***
Reason for leaving: Had to move back to Iowa to continue the next semester of classes
Responsibilities: I filed engineering documents, created and updated digital map of village sewer/drainage system using 3D GPS mapping and Revit, and assisted in village construction projects by surveying and mapping underground objects using engineering documents.
Infrared Wireless Data Transmitter/Receiver Project: Spring 2014
Advanced Circuit Techniques:
Designed circuit incorporating 555 timers, and VCO to modulate data and infrared diodes to transmit audio data through FM modulation
Received the data by using phototransistors as antennae and passing data through phase locked loops and active filters to demodulate data and output to speaker
Multi-output Switching Power Supply Spring 2014
Advanced Circuit Techniques:
Implemented switched capacitor converts and a buck converter to produce three separate output voltages.
Circuit printed on self-designed PCB board using Multisim to simulated and Ultiboard to print.
All outputs tested at two separate loads to quantize load and line regulation
