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 and 4 integrated product teams.
- Designed the three-phase SiC inverter power stage rated 150 kW peak and 75 kW continuous, with SiC MOSFETs, 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 in Altium Designer, partnering with sourcing on 18 lifecycle and alternate-part calls, delivering a 12% BOM-cost reduction across the line.
- Designed the field-oriented control loops in Simulink against measured plant models with a 1.2 kHz current loop, held torque ripple to 0.5% at rated speed across temperature, and shipped tuning in 4 weeks.
- 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 a Yokogawa WT5000 power analyzer and Keysight DSO bench across all 9 thermal and line-voltage corners, cutting field-defect rate from 18 to 3 per 1k units over 2 production cycles.
- Certified the line against IEC 61800-3 EMC and UL 508C drive-safety standards, coordinating with TÜV and UL labs to achieve first-pass certification on all 4 SKUs across 8 third-party lab campaigns.
Rockwell Automation
Electrical Engineer
- Supported 6 NPI programs at the Milwaukee plant through DFM, DFT, and contract-manufacturer co-engineering, anchoring panel-builder design rules that lifted first-pass yield from 82% to 96% across the panel-shop floor.
- Produced electrical documentation in AutoCAD Electrical and 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 the 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 lab-bench and review-board workflow.
