WORK EXPERIENCE

Ciena – Hardware Engineer Intern Interconnect – Ottawa ON, Canada Sep. 2020 – Dec. 2020

Created design specification documents, approved ECOs, and drawing packages for several parts.

Efficiently interacted with several key suppliers to check for compatibility, availability, quotes, and samples for their products.

Used PNA network analyzer and TDR (time-domain response) machines to measure signal integrity (insertion loss and cross talk) in several test boards.

Collaborated to capture and analyze results from Flowers of Sulfur test measuring PCB corrosion in high sulfur environments.

Used Cadence to create schematics and check footprints for several electrical components.

Ciena – Hardware Engineer Intern Interconnect – Ottawa ON, Canada Jan. 2020 – April 2020

Designed and conducted tests using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to determine the effects of wear on contact plating of the connector.

Conducted high-level research and presentations on minimizing environmental corrosion effects on printed circuit boards in high sulfur environments.

Conducted several First Piece Evaluation (FPE) documents on electrical components to determine supplier compatibility with Ciena design specifications.

Efficiently collaborated to conduct root cause analysis for a supplier connector to determine the reason behind high insertion loss of the connector.

MetalCraft Marine Inc. – Engineering Summer Intern – Kingston ON, Canada May 2018 – Aug. 2018

Studied the complete process of an OSR US Navy boat and proposed design changes to reduce production time and improve efficiency.

Used Rhino/AutoCAD to develop drawings and assembly instructions for the production team to easily and efficiently fabricate parts.

Designed lifting device for the UJ305 Waterjet Propulsion Engine, and protection railings to improve shop safety.

Communicated effectively between production and design engineering teams to maintain CAD files and congruence between teams.
