I am a graduate of Electrical Engineering at UC Santa Cruz with a multidisciplinary background of mechanical, electrical and programming experience. I'm experienced in fast-paced workplaces and time sensitive projects, and I strive to be organized, thorough, and communicate openly. Github: https://github.com/PhilipCanete
Electrical engineer designing to IEC61010 and NFPA79 in ISO13485 environment. Highlighted Projects: Team Lead for N+1 architecture: - Led EE design in cross-functional architecture meetings - Owned design for whole tool block diagram with >80 cables selecting every wire, connector, and system interface - Owned overall tool power budget, top level AC-DC, and DC distribution Ethercat motor driver - Developed multiboard assembly for boardmount nano-precision ethercat servo drives - Involved ethercat, 50 MHz mixed signals, multiple bus voltage levels, and high current motor drivers - Simulated current density to predict worst-case heating with Altium PDN Detector Subsystem Electronics - System owner for electronics architecture for sequencer module (>10 custom PCBs, >3 with MCUs) - Originated block diagrams, schematics, board layout, and >40 cable drawings - Core electronics used used STM32 and Microchip SAMD MCUs interfacing with ECAT PHYs - Integrated board mount environmental sensors, gigabit network switches, and FPGAs - Developed current/voltage/fault sensing for high visibility remote diagnostics - Supported multiple cameras, lasers, linear and rotary PMSM/BLDC motors, stepper motors, and custom autofocus system Custom Flex Heater Design - Conceived and led development of electrical software to design custom flexible polymide PCB heaters - Reduced custom PCB heater cost by 11x and lead time by 6x, resulting in >$100k cost savings during prototype - High CM integration to perform additional nonstandard post-fab services PLC Powerbox - Designed, documented and built UL508 compliant powerbox for motor testing at CM Flex Sensor - Designed flex multi-fold PCB for heavily space constrained application with multiple stiffeners Altium Librarian: - Developed company Altium infrastructure with templates for project, symbols, footprints, components, draftsman, and outjob - Led project to document REACH/ROHS evidence for >1000 components within Altium365 library
