Experience

1. Electronic Engineer

   SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

   May 2023 — Present

   SLAC hosts the world\'s largest electron beam and serves as the most powerful X-ray machine for specific industries. I contribute to the development of X-ray cameras and detectors including testing, qualification and calibration. I also provide support to firmware developers working on the timing distribution system. SLAC collaborates on research and development projects supported by Stanford University. My role in the organization consist in:• Developing firmware to extract X-Ray cameras data through high-speed links.• Developing python scripts to analyze camera data for test, qualification and calibration.• Writing specifications, including test procedures for a Time-to-Digital Converter ASIC.• Designing Hardware and software for a Time-to-Digital Converter ASIC test setup (FPGA and python). • Developing a high-speed link analyzer/tester for multiple detectors/data rates… • Using Agile development with CI/CD to keep compatibility with existing systems while making improvements for the future.• Developing software, in Python, to analyze detector data for calibration in python using pipelines, NumPy, Pandas…
