• Designed Printed Circuit Boards with Altium Designer Software for various projects ∗ Safety-critical Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) System Project ∗ NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano/NX SoM Carrier Boardcts • Worked with mechanical design teams to ensure designs fit into their housings and were properly cooled. • Post-production testing of prototype boards to ensure correct operation. • Communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, CANBUS, PCIe, Ethernet, USB, HDMI were used.

Developed test codes with VHDL for a safety-critical Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) computer system with the aim of intentionally injecting false data into incoming sensor data.

• Mandatory internship for 20 business-days. • Designed a four-layer Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that consists of several sensors and a microcontroller • Learned how to use the Altium Designer software • Researched about how to choose the components, based on the specifications of the project. • Gained insight on how to read the datasheets of the components and design accordingly.

• Mandatory internship for 20 business days. • Learned the basics of VHDL hardware description language. • Completed specific tasks using VHDL.
