prepared for mach industries
summer 2027

i'm built for the company mach is becoming.

Mach is collapsing the distance between an idea, a test article, a factory, and the field. That is already how I think and build.

why the fit is unusually strong โ†“

01 / why mach

the same operating system.

Forge unites design and manufacturing so systems can move from development to fielding without the handoffs that slow traditional aerospace. I have always gravitated toward that same full-loop ownership.

01

vertical by instinct

I move between schematics, layout, soldering, embedded code, RF data, and the larger system instead of treating any one layer as someone else's problem.

why mach: a vertically integrated company rewards engineers who can see across the stack.

02

speed with receipts

I have built 15+ keyboards from PCB design through final test, shipped a production dataset at Orchard, and improved embedded-hardware benchmarks at GMU.

why mach: I like short loops: build, measure, correct, and ship.

03

mission over demo

WiFind was not left on a lab bench. I took the RF sensing system to four search-and-rescue teams and tested it through walls at operationally useful ranges.

why mach: I care whether hardware works for the person depending on it.

02 / how i build

mach's edge is the loop. so is mine.

Mach's products, propulsion, energetics, testing, and flexible factories reinforce one another. My best work also happens when I can own the path from electrical decision to physical result.

03 / this internship

a clean entry point.

The electrical internship is a concise match: I can contribute immediately in board design, prototyping, validation, and integration while learning inside the larger company I actually want to join: one building an industrial base, not just a single product.

  • pcbaAltium + KiCad, schematic capture, layout, component selection
  • prototypesoldering, assembly, rework, firmware configuration
  • validatecontinuity checks, board test, data analysis, circuit debugging
  • integratesensors, low-voltage power, RF capture, embedded hardware
