Jackson Riemerschmid

Developing custom pressure sensors for medical device applications, including dialysis systems. My work spans ASIC-level integration and I2C communication, precision calibration to ±0.1% full-scale output, and direct customer interfacing for requirement refinement and technical troubleshooting. I also designed and built a complete end-of-line test system for angular potentiometers used in medical technology — covering mechanical setup, embedded firmware, and a Python GUI with automated pass/fail logic — ide

Tested aftermarket automotive sensors and validated performance against OEM specifications, developing comprehensive testing plans covering electrical and mechanical functions. Led turbocharger program development, approving over 30 new offerings in under one year by coordinating across Project Managers, suppliers, and testing teams. Organized vehicle testing programs and interpreted gas stand test reports. Also analyzed how vehicle electrification trends were shifting automotive sensor market requirements

Interviewed individuals exposed to COVID-19 to track virus spread and symptom development, providing guidance on proper isolation protocols and connecting people with community resources such as food banks where needed. Applied an empathetic communication approach that increased participant cooperation and information quality. Automated team scheduling in Excel for complete 7-day coverage and trained incoming contact tracers.

Helped advance a next-generation refreshable braille display from concept to the next phase of development. Designed a novel locking actuator mechanism to raise and secure braille dots in position, and conducted contextual interviews with blind users to understand interaction patterns and inform design decisions. Also handled Arduino troubleshooting and programming, coordinated with injection molding and SLA printing vendors, and resolved mold flashing and print quality issues.

Conducted root cause analysis on foam fitting failures, categorizing instances and identifying the issue as process-related rather than component-related. Recommended an assembly process reordering that addressed the systematic quality defects. Also performed benchmarking and patent research for engine mount redesign initiatives and translated technical repair documentation from German to English.

Tested vendor automotive sensor samples and verified functional congruence with OEM specifications. Developed pivot tables and data visualization tools for stakeholders using VBA programming to organize sales data by year and vendor for strategic decision-making. Also gained proficiency in AllData and ProDemand diagnostic systems and built competency reading complex electrical diagrams.

Taught children aged 4-15 tennis and created program advertising.

Taught middle schoolers about the principles of engineering and assisted campers in design challenges.

Selective graduate program combining computer science with human-computer interaction. Completed rigorous coursework on AI/ML applications across industries before pivoting to focus on hardware/software integration in embedded systems.
