What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply automated test platforms to validate performance, speed up troubleshooting with TestStand/LabVIEW/Python, and partner with R&D during commissioning to improve reliability and long-term asset performance.

I’m an Electrical Engineer and technical expert with 6+ years of specialized experience in automated test and measurement systems and system integration. I validate product performance against strict technical specifications across applications including RF test, semiconductor manufacturing, and battery production and validation.

In my current role as a Staff Technical Support Engineer, I provide deep technical consultation for automated test platforms (HIL, RF, and industrial protocols), build Proofs of Concept that accelerate customer decisions, and translate field feedback into actionable engineering improvements that enhance reliability and long-term asset performance. I also leverage TestStand, LabVIEW, Veristand, and Python to triage complex integration issues quickly, reduce customer downtime, and deliver formal training that standardizes technical best practices across teams.
