ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

Recent BSEE graduate. Solid understanding of electrical engineering theory, industry-standard circuit design, high speed - RF circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, antenna theory & design, impedance matching, transmission lines, smith charts, and testing tools. Strong ability to learn quickly and master new technologies, and a person who is successful working in both teams and a self-directed setting.

EDUCATION

University of California, Davis

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, 2016

Relevant Courses: RF Systems, Radiation & Antennas, Optical Fibers, Electromagnetics, Signal Analysis & Communication, Communication Electronic, Device Physics, Electronic Circuits, Digital Systems.

Relevant Projects: AM&FM Transmitter, AM&FM Heterodyne Receiver, AM Homodyne Receiver, Noise Reduction System, Amplifiers.

EXPERIENCE

Proficient in use of laboratory test equipment, signal generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, power supplies, and DMMs.

Proficient in reading and understanding electrical circuit diagrams to build up analog/digital circuits.

Proficient in following procedures, bringing up of test setup, testing, and troubleshooting.

Senior Design Project: UC Davis, 10/2015-4/2016

Work in a group of 3 persons and complete Radar System Design Project with a long range (up to 90 meters), high resolution, small size, and low power consumption (about 1.1 Watts). The radar can be used to locate, detect the objects, and also determine the speed of the objects. Key Contributions:

Design Baseband (Function Generator + Gain Stage + LPF) and RF circuits for the radar system that is operate at 2.4 GHz.

Research and select components, make bill of materials BOM, and order them.

Create and edit schematic symbols and component footprints using KiCad.

Use KiCad to design schematic capture and PCB layout for the Baseband and RF circuits.

Use KiCad to design schematic capture and PCB layout for the RF Low Noise and Power Amplifiers and RF Variable Attenuator.

Generate Fabrication Files (Gerber) for PCB manufacturers to produce the PCBs.

Proficient with soldering through-hole and surface mount components, debugging, and testing bring-up PCBs.

Design the patch array antennas on PCB substrate for the transmit and receive antennas of radar in HFSS and then generate the Gerber Files for PCB manufacturers to produce them.

Design and bring up of test setup for the whole radar system, then test and troubleshoot on a large field.

Collect and analyze the test results so that to modify the Matlab and Python scripts to get the best results.

Antenna Design Projects: UC Davis, 9/2015-12/2015

Work individual by using HFSS to design and simulate the short dipole, circular loop, horn, microstrip/patch, and array antennas at a high frequency.

Determine the waveguide dimensions and the dimensions, bandwidth, and input impedance of antennas.

Design the input matching network for antennas and then draw the structures of antennas on HFSS.

Perform the simulation in HFSS to obtain the input return loss S-parameters, bandwidth, directivity, gain, radiation efficiency, E&H field, and 3D far field radiation pattern of antennas.

Do some tunning to match the circuit and get the best gain and directivity.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

KiCad, ANSYS HFSS, Keysight ADS, Matlab, PSpice, HSpice, C/C++, Visual Basic, Python, Arduino IDE, Audacity, MS Office (Excel, Power Point, Word), Database, Unix, Linux, Mac OS.
