Electrical Design Engineer, Open-Source at Portland State Aerospace Society
Oregon, Norway
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer J is an electrical design engineer with eight years of hands-on experience designing rugged PCBs and systems for aerospace, EV charging, and rapid prototyping environments. She has led avionics and environmental-tolerant hardware work for spaceflight projects and helped build Oregon’s first satellite through volunteer leadership at an open-source aerospace society. Comfortable from schematic capture to assembly and test, she has managed environmental test labs, designed data acquisition and control systems for rocket engine stands, and supported commercial EV charger development. Her background blends formal EE and physics training with practical shop skills—maintaining thermal vacuum chambers, Helmholtz cages, and thin‑film equipment—so she bridges lab operations and circuit-level design. Jennifer also has grant-writing and outreach experience, making her effective at securing resources and translating technical work for broader audiences. Based between Oregon and Norway, she contributes to open-source hardware efforts and maintains a GitHub presence that complements her engineering portfolio.
