Electrical Team Member @Waterloo Rocketry
Waterloo, ON, CA
Designed rocketry power and conversion board with 12V to 5V buck converter while allowing for switching between onboard Lipo battery and groundside 12V supply, allowing for Lipo charging from groundside infrastructureDesigned 915MHz ground link telemetry probe fed patch antenna with 3.42dB gain and S11 of -42dB at the center frequency to allow for communication between rocket and ground antennaCreated PCB to allow for interchangeable use of thermistors, 0-10 V voltage sensors, and 4-20 mA current sensors in DAQ system using KiCAD, incorporating 20kHz RC low pass filter to reduce output noiseArchitected and impact tested 3D printed mount for IMU with integrated zip tie mount for harness strain relief and protection, which survived 60G landingOptimized avionics sled through implementation of 3D printed sled braces, allowing for addition of 2 PCBsthrough efficient harness pathing
