Easton Sailer

Validated high-power delivery architectures and rack-scale systems for pre-production datacenter hardware platforms. Performed component, board-level, and full-system power validation, including stability analysis and failure characterization. Utilized oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and network analyzers to debug power integrity, transient response, and stability-related issues. Worked closely with vendors and cross-functional teams to resolve hardware failures and optimize system reliability. Supported component sourcing, qualification, and engineering build activities for next-generation hardware deployments. Collaborated with thermal and mechanical engineering teams to improve power efficiency, cooling performance, and overall system integration.

Conducted maintenance and testing of lab equipment to ensure functionality and safety. Streamlined lab resources by removing obsolete equipment and optimizing space. Collaborated on updating lab facilities and designed a PCB for a benchtop power supply. Assisted in designing and updating test procedures and equipment documentation.

- Collaborated with fellow board members to create weekly workshops to help develop students' skills - Held weekly board meetings to plan workshops, budget spending, and hear input from members. - Worked with the university to request budgets and to advertise the club.

- Collaborated with board members to create weekly workshops for the IEEE club - Took pictures at the workshops and created weekly social media posts to improve attendance and recognition for the club - Created posters to promote IEEE workshops around campus

Designed and implemented a motor dynamometer test plan, enabling evaluation of next-gen CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) designs. Developed a Perl script with GNUplot integration to automate organization and visualization of signal-to-noise ratios, enabling more efficient performance analysis of networking devices. Analyzed and benchmarked multiple vendors’ DC-DC converters, delivering a comprehensive report highlighting trade-offs, performance, and suitability for next-generation systems. Assessed vendor power shelves—including DC-DC converters and inverters—providing data-driven recommendations to guide component selection. Conducted root-cause analysis of embedded systems across both hardware and software, identifying issues and recommending corrective actions.

Developed and executed test plans for High Density Liquid Cooling (HDLC) systems used in data centers globally. Troubleshot lab machines and retrofitted units with new parts due to component obsolescence. Automated stress testing using Bash shell scripts on embedded controllers and analyzed performance data. Conducted root cause analyses for performance issues and collaborated with internal and external teams to resolve them. Participated in meetings with customers and suppliers to address issues and plan necessary tests. Created and contributed to test reports, documenting findings and improvements.

Aided in moving operations to a larger facility. Set up new injection molding machines and wired them in. Designed and fabricated working platforms and safety barriers throughout the plant. Collaborated with management to increase efficiency throughout the plant. Performed maintenance procedures on equipment.
