Controls + Testing

This section shows that the design work is backed up by experiments, instrumentation, model validation, and data reduction. It helps communicate that you are not just a CAD-only engineer.

What stands out

  • Strong experimental mindset with DAQ workflows, vibration testing, and signal interpretation.
  • Experience identifying models from real data and validating them against measurements.
  • Comfortable moving between physical setup, data capture, and engineering conclusions.
  • Adds credibility to design work by showing proof-oriented thinking.
