Projects For Recruiters Resume

Hey, thanks for stopping by

A quick overview of who I am, what I've worked on, and when I'm available.

Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern, looking for a co-op from Jan – Aug 2027. Graduating April 2028.

What I'm looking for

Three areas I'd love to work in, each with the work behind it:

Semiconductor equipment & manufacturing: a summer at Piotech maintaining and troubleshooting PECVD and ALD thin film deposition systems on the production floor, learning how the tools work from the process chambers down to the control subsystems.

Embedded systems & robotics: a servo-powered robotic arm driven by a Raspberry Pi Pico, built on coursework in Embedded Design/Enabling Robotics, Circuits and Signals, and hands-on work with the DE1-SoC, Quartus Prime, and LTspice.

Hardware & mechanical design: SolidWorks CSWA certified, with CAD work at Piotech and a full CAD package for a tabletop board game that went from laser-cut and 3D-printed prototypes to a client-approved final.

Experience

Piotech Inc.EE Intern · May–Aug 2026

Maintenance and troubleshooting on PECVD and ALD thin film deposition systems used in semiconductor manufacturing, supporting equipment uptime on the production floor. Designed and iterated SolidWorks models across multiple revisions to meet manufacturing tolerances. Evaluated semiconductor equipment localization trends in China against NAURA, AMEC, and international suppliers, documented equipment specs and maintenance procedures, and shadowed manufacturing, quality control, and R&D teams.

Robotic ArmProject · May–Aug 2026

Designed in SolidWorks, 3D printed on a Bambu Lab printer, and programmed on a Raspberry Pi Pico to drive the servos with coordinated joint movement. Calibrated servo positioning and motion sequencing through iterative testing to improve precision and repeatability.

Tabletop Board GameProject · Oct–Dec 2025

Led end-to-end development of a functional tabletop game for two clients: part models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, then prototyping cycles with 3D printing and laser cutting driven by playtesting. Ran design reviews for a three-person team through to a client-approved prototype.

FAQ

When do you graduate?

April 2028: B.S. Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northeastern University.

When are you available?

January through August 2027, for a co-op.

Do you need sponsorship?

No, I'm a U.S. citizen.

What kind of roles are you looking for?

Electrical, hardware, and embedded engineering, especially anything around semiconductor equipment or robotics. There's more detail in "What I'm looking for" above.

What do you do outside of class?

I play competitively on Northeastern's club tennis team, and I'm a student engineer in ASME.

Where are you based?

Boston, MA during school and Malvern, PA otherwise. I spent last summer in Shanghai, so I'm happy to relocate.
