  Jan 2011 - Sept 2014

  Electrical Engineer

  Development Engineer and technical team leader (3 people) on a project for developing temperature and pressure sensors for Oil & Gas industry. Fabrication of photolithograpy masks, operation of semiconductor fabrication equipment: Sputtering, E-beam evaporator, RIE, mask aligner, Disco saw, wire bonder, oxygen plasma, profilometers. Development of wireless sensors networks for obtaining telemetry data. Elaboration of technical and financial reports for the client´s chronogram follow up. Technical and administrative meetings for project management. HR interviews and internship advisory. Using the results obtained from wireless sensors networks, I introduced the technology into the smart grid context by developing my PhD project that consisted on controlling the power of street light´s lamps. The project resulted on very satisfactory achievements, with internal rate of returns on the range of 20% per year on energy savings. Show less
