Profile Summary
- Electrical Engineer with 10 years of experience designing industrial motor-drive systems across industrial automation, power conversion, and motor control, specializing in power-electronics design, motor-drive control loops, and field-tested industrial systems.
- Solid technical background across simulation (MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS), EDA (Altium Designer, AutoCAD Electrical), power topology (three-phase inverter), control method (field-oriented control), silicon (TI C2000 DSP, AMD Xilinx), and standards (IEC 61800, UL 508A), with strong fundamentals in power-stage rigor, control-loop discipline, and clean documentation on every drawing.
- Deep expertise in power-electronics design and topology selection, control-loop design and motor-drive tuning, schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout, and prototype validation and field commissioning, applying practices such as model-in-the-loop verification and standards-first design discipline to deliver reliable, certifiable, and field-proven electrical systems.
- Engaged collaborator working cross-functionally with Mechanical, Firmware, Manufacturing, and Service leadership in phase-gated industrial engineering programs, contributing to FMEA sessions, schematic + panel reviews, factory acceptance tests, and on-site commissioning with a pragmatic, ownership-first mindset.
- Senior engineer who shares technical excellence and fosters a culture of FMEA-driven design rigor and lab-to-field continuity through schematic-review coaching and on-site mentorship, while running electrical design-review board sessions and authoring widely adopted schematic-template and panel-layout libraries.

Education
Case Western Reserve University
M.S. in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems)
Work Experience
Eaton
Senior Electrical Engineer
- Own electrical system design for the industrial motor-drive product line across 4 drive SKUs from 5-150 kW, coordinating power-stage design, control-loop development, and lab + customer-site commissioning with influence across 30 engineers across 4 IPTs.
- Designed the three-phase SiC inverter power stage rated for 150 kW peak / 75 kW continuous, with magnetics, gate-drive, and thermal co-design, hitting 98.2% peak efficiency across the operating envelope.
- Drove schematic capture and PCB layout reviews on a 10-layer high-current PCB with 320 active components, partnering with sourcing on lifecycle and alternates, delivering a 12% BOM-cost reduction across the line.
- Designed the field-oriented control loops in Simulink with a 1.2 kHz current loop, tuned against measured plant models, and held 0.5% torque ripple at rated speed across temperature.
- Integrated the drive electronics with the TI C2000 DSP platform, planning 24 ADC channels and 12 PWM outputs, authoring the register map, and partnering with firmware so the register-map + HSI signed off in week 6 of the program.
- Led lab validation on the Yokogawa WT5000 power analyzer + Keysight DSO bench across all 9 thermal + line-voltage corners, cutting field-defect rate from 18 per 1k units to 3 per 1k units over 2 production cycles.
- Certified the line against IEC 61800-3 EMC + UL 508C drive safety, coordinating with TÜV and UL labs, achieving first-pass certification on all 4 SKUs across 8 third-party lab campaigns.
Rockwell Automation
Electrical Engineer
- Supported 6 NPI programs through DFM, DFT, and contract-manufacturer co-engineering, anchoring panel-builder design rules that lifted first-pass yield from 82% to 96% first-pass yield across the panel-shop floor.
- Produced electrical documentation in AutoCAD Electrical + EPLAN, delivering 140+ single-line and panel drawings over the program lifetime with zero customer redlines on as-built submittals.
- Commissioned drive and panel installs at 22 customer sites across the Midwest, partnering with service techs on startup procedures and field tuning, with zero startup callbacks within first 90 days.
- Partnered with Mechanical, Firmware, Manufacturing, and Service teams across 4 industrial-automation product lines, co-authoring 34 FMEAs and design-review packs that became the team's design reference and onboarding 6 new electrical engineers into the team's lab-bench and review-board workflow.
