Resume

After a successful placement year, I was invited to return for a summer placement while I was on break from university.
I had 2 key tasks while I returned, the primary responsibility was to continue to support the Measurement Support team, primarily working with oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers & network analysers.
My other prominent task was to help support the creation of technical articles and application notes for the KeysightCare KnowledgeBase. This part of my role was highly successful and I was recognised as the top contributor for Europe while I was on the team.
Finally, I also supported an intern with the Keysight FIRSTS program. Which is an educational program designed to show first-year EEE students how to use T&M gear to their full potential. I was assisting with the lab guides for function/waveform generators, DMMs and DAQs.

As a part of my degree, I undertook a year-long placement at Keysight.
My work at Keysight covered three areas. I supported the technical support engineers in providing phone and email support to a variety of customers. I also helped in the service centre repairing and calibrating Keysight’s vast portfolio of products from the last 75 years.
Finally, I undertook a project with the sales team in identifying new customers in the HFDD Market.

I designed a carbon monoxide (CO) detector on a sponsored work placement from National Instruments. I used LABVIEW to design software for a myRIO so it could interface with the sensor and then communicate that data back and interpret the analogue signal. I was ahead of schedule and additionally built a robot that the sensor could connect to, allowing for the remote operation of the sensor.
