Eric Amikam's Problem Solving Experience:

1. I designed and build a vacuum-compatible battery pack capable of providing 1000A at 120VDC at 1/100th atmospheric pressure.
2. I designed and built a service tool in the automotive industry which uses a microcontroller, touch screen display, and power electronics to diagnose, recover, and charge Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.
3. I developed and commissioned high-speed mechatronic equipment for automated manufacturing, including linear actuator control and sensing for an adhesive dispense system.
4. I designed and installed a 1.1 mile long utility system in an underground tunnel in Los Angeles which which distributes 480VAC and fiber optic communications to 19 custom control panels. Developed a Python GUI that displays tunnel telemetry and provides RGB LED control.
5. I came up with innovative designs for underground tunnel boring equipment. I was the sole Electrical Engineer responsible for the design, construction, and validation of all electrical systems for an automated Segment Erector. The automated Segment Erector is a 6-axis robotic arm which uses multiple sensor arrays and a vacuum plate to “pick-and-place” 5000 lb concrete segments to form the tunnel walls. I made it so operators can control the Segment Erector via an Xbox Controller.
