My name is Rudi Weinberg and I am a recent graduate of Drexel University with a focus on electrical engineering with concentrations in controls, robotics, and embedded systems. I am currently working as a freelance electrical engineer and looking for a full-time position.

In terms of hard skills, I have experience with mechatronics, electronic motor control, and programming and designing microcontroller-based embedded systems (including Arduino, ESP 32, and nodeMCU) in a team setting as well as independently. Additionally, I am familiar with engineering testing tools such as multimeters and oscilloscopes. My best programming languages are C, Assembly, and Python.

During college, I completed two six month full time Co-Ops positions (Covid prevented the third). The first one was at a company called Coperion K-Tron which designs and manufactures industrial feeders and extruders. The second Co-Op was in the Drexel Theoretical and Advanced Mechanics Group (TAMG) drone lab where I led and advised a team of rising sophomores in designing and building autonomous swarming drones. 

At Coperion K-Tron I gained experience in embedded systems by helping the senior R&D engineers redesign their RS-232 and RS-485 communication board for their next-generation control system. This work included being given the old board design and redesigning it with all-new chips. My revised design was then put into production and is currently being used in the company’s next-generation control systems. Additionally, I worked to make sure that some of their other electronic assemblies conformed to IEC 61010-1 3rd Edition Standards.

At TAMG I led and advised a team of rising sophomores in the design and construction of autonomous swarming drones while conducting my own independent research on how to utilize next-generation 5G networks for use in a future drone swarm air traffic control system. Lastly, I also led numerous teams and group projects including my freshman and senior design teams.

For my senior design project, I acted as both the team leader and the electrical engineer. This means that I took on many roles and tasks within the team from both an engineering and management perspective. First and foremost in my role as the head electrical engineer, I designed the electronic and control systems for the project. In my role as the team leader, I performed tasks such as project management, report writing, budgeting, and economic analysis of the medical external fixation device market. 

I believe that my unique set of experiences both inside the classroom and in the workplace make me a good fit for a variety of engineering companies and projects.
