Generate evaluation and characterization plans for new products and coordinate failure analysis with Design, Marketing and Application team.

Lab Assistant at BU ECE, Boston, MA Sep.2014 - Dec.2014

Mentored students with course Analog VLSI circuit design in design schematics, layout, simulation and analysis of simulation results by using Cadence Virtuoso; setting up and performing lab RF measurements Supplier Quality Engineer Intern at ZF (China) Investment Co., Ltd, Shanghai, China Sep.2012 - June 2013

Analyzed supplier’s performance through monthly Key Performance Indicators(KPIs)

Assisted in Lab-testing of Suppliers’ products quality utilizing SAP and other quality tools

Conducted several APQP and 8D training sections for employees in China Quality Assurance Engineer Intern at Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai, China June 2012 - Aug.2012

Testing of the electrical parts of Autos from assembly line; Statistical analysis of test results PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Programmable Clock Generator Characterization Test Board PCB Design March 2016

Schematic and PCB layout design of the testing board for a 32-pin package VC6+BAW clock generator chip.

Design purpose is to check if a BAW (Bulk Acoustic Wave) resonator has better phase noise performance.

Designed a 4 layer PCB board with 5 inch trace for differential outputs. 1-GHz PCB FM Receiver (Team work) Oct. 2014 - Dec. 2014

Designed schematics and PCB Layout, and hand-soldered PCB board with components to implement the design.

The design includes an antenna, 1-GHz low noise amplifier, mixer, local oscillator, IF amplifier and filter, and FM detector, as well as a headset or audio amplifier to assess the baseband audio signal strength and quality. Design of an RF Synthesizer (Individual) Dec. 2014

Designed an Radio Frequency Synthesizer with a sinusoidal output at 5GHz

Designed quadrature VCO, a phase detector, a charge pump and loop filter and the buffer which finally achieved the circuit lock from 560ns.

Design of a Current Mirror Op-Amp (Individual) Apr. 2014 - May 2014

This three stage op-amp was designed on schematic level using 0.13um CMOS technology.

Used Cadence tool to run the simulation for the circuit and achieved a 40dB gain with 9.7mW power consumption. Design of “Rhythm Master” Game by Verilog and FPGA board (Team Work) Mar. 2014 - May 2014

Saved programmed melodies into SD card about 20 - 30 seconds and corresponded the rhythm with the speed of falling block on the screen to get scores by pressing four arrows in keyboard.

Using FPGA board user can start and pause the game or choose the difficulty of the game. Design of a LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) and Layout with IBM 8HP Technology (Individual) Feb. 2014

Designed 4.5 GHz cascade low noise amplifier on both schematics and layout (including DRC,LVS,QRC).

Minimized the noise while keeping a high gain of LNA about 20dB. EDUCATION
