Research Assistant - Electronics Engineering

Melbourne Space Laboratory

Performed end-to-end design, manufacturing, and testing of the thermal control unit for an Australian Space Agency / NASA-built lunar rover, including the EM, EQM, and FM hardware. Designed and manufactured complex, EMI compliant PCBs for use with radation-hardened electronic components. Wrote register-level embedded software, using an RTOS framework. Conducted detailed failure mode analysis and simulations to ensure robustness to conditions on the lunar surface.

Lead Systems Engineer

ARES Rocketry Team

Implemented industry-standard, requirements-driven systems engineering practices in a team over over 100 student engineers. Undertook extensive documentation to increase decision traceability and knowledge preservation. Managed requirements, V&V plans, timelines, design reviews, and interface control documents. Acted as a chief technical SME for the development of ARES' first student-designed hybrid engine based rocket.

Electronics Engineer

Esper Satellite Imagery

Designed, implemented, and tested space-grade circuitry for a hyperspectral earth-observation payload. Communicated with external space provider, managed interface control description documents, and conducted reviews to ensure compliance. Used Atlassian project management suite to document work and organise requirements and timelines. Conducted extensive failure mode analysis of electrical systems. Designed, manufactured, and outsourced space-grade wiring harnesses and PCBs.

Chief Engineer

ARES Rocketry Team

Acted as chief technical lead of ARES, to design and construct a 30'000ft altitude sounding rocket to compete in the 2024 Spaceport America Cup. This rocket placed 4th out of 152 international universities, 2nd in its category, and remains one of the most successful rockets in Australian collegiate rocketry history. Was responsible for the oversight of all technical decisions and design reviews, as well as authoring technical documentation for project judging and knowledge preservation.

Technical Staff - University of Melbourne Creator Space

QinetiQ Australia

Supervised students and staff in a busy, state-of-the-art engineering workshop. Utilised extensive electronics experience to troubleshoot problems and educate users. Administered trainings to upskill users in the use of electronic test equipment and PCB manufacturing. Supported risk assessment for trainings and events, actioned safety initiatives, and managed competency databases.

Avionics Lead

ARES Rocketry Team

Was electrical lead for ARES' entry into the 2023 SAC. Managed a team of 10 avionics engineers to design and manufacture the vehicle's avionics stack and ground support equipment. Single-handedly designed and implemented a robust, future-proofed flight computer. This project was selected to be presented as a podium session at the 2023 SAC, and remains the team's main flight computer almost 3 years later.

Electronics Engineer

Motorcycle Cruise Controls

Designed custom test equipment to streamline safety checks and improve ergonomics. Identified issues in and repaired faulty PCBs, allowing discarded stock to be recovered and sold. Visited and inspected PCB assembly factories to identify candidates for future production runs. Used hand soldering skills to modify existing circuit boards for unique applications.
