About Me
Hello! My name is Mikhail Hyde and I am a Mechatronics Engineer currently located in Boston Massachusetts.
I have been building (and breaking) things for as long as I can remember and developed the engineering bug early in my life. I am always eager and excited to learn new technologies and disciplines to diversify my skill set.
I graduated from The University of Rhode Island in 2018 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I elected to take courses in Mechatronics and Electrical Engineering and furthered my studies, independently, post-graduation.
Experience
April 2022-Present
Systems Integration Engineer
FORMLABS
-
Brought together firmware and hardware to enable subsystems in the printing pipeline
-
Delivered fully-functional 3D printer and subsystem prototypes.
-
Debugged system level issues and collaborated with the other engineering teams to implement design fixes.
-
Designed, wrote, validated, and shipped C++ and Python based printer software features.
-
Conducted extensive testing through planning and execution to inform design changes, design requirements, and product offerings.
-
Built internal tooling in the form of C++ and Python software to provide unit insight, enable streamlined experimentation, and support the work of other engineers
June 2021-March 2022
Senior Systems Validation Engineer
SHARKNINJA
-
Lead the design and implementation of automated test fixtures for rapid and repeatable testing of Ninja products using Linux, Python, C++, Raspberry Pi, and microcontrollers
-
Developed a software base of Python tools that enabled test engineers to control their respective products with abstracted serial commands. Tests could be developed in minutes and run indefinitely.
-
Collaborated with CS and Data Engineers to upload the large data sets from these fixtures into Cloud Servers and Business Charting services like Snowflake and DOMO.
-
Lead the development of an isolated network so each “node” or test station could share data with a central data server where data was cleaned, padded, and then shipped to the cloud
-
Supported automated testing with hardware peripherals such as automated water delivery and mechatronic manipulators
-
Used electronic “hacking” methods to reverse engineer competitor products and automate competitor benchmarking by simulating user inputs
-
Maintained large software repositories worked on by many engineers, simultaneously.
-
Fixtures had a high ROI by reducing the cost of common test procedures by up to 85% per ECN
June 2018-June 2021
Mechanical Engineer
EMISSIVE ENERGY CORP
-
Designed a Press-Fit monitoring system using Python, Load-Cells, and Break-Beam Sensors which provided real time
-
assembly feedback and automatically logged every operation in an easy to read excel format
-
Designed production ready PCBs and generated schematics for all in-house electronics using Altium Designer
-
Developed a system/fixture for calibrating PIC built-in temperature sensors using UART communication between the
-
PICs and a Raspberry Pi running a Python program
-
Maintained large CAD assemblies, technical prints, and designed parts using PTC Creo
-
Optimized thermal regulation of high powered LEDs through fin design and material selection
-
Generated GCode and set up In-House CNC machines for prototyping parts and full-scale production
-
Managed Prusa i3 3-D printers with Raspberry Pi Web Servers for rapid prototyping and fixturing needs
