Jonas Funk

Design innovative electrical hardware for Garmin's wearables and cutting-edge technologies. Develop high-quality products that enhance user experience and drive technological advancement.

Fostered startup growth by accelerating the hardware development process. Guided five startups through hardware prototyping, system design, and board layout.

Modeled power delivery networks to optimize server voltage regulators for performance, space, and cost. Built and prepared high-performance workstations to support the development team’s ECAD tools. Conducted debug testing of multiphase voltage regulator operation, and root cause analysis of device errata.

Lead 1-credit academic excellence workshop with co-facilitator for students in CS 2800 - discrete structures. Generate problems, answer questions, and facilitate learning and collaboration amongst students.

Team Lead for the C1C0 ECE sub-team on the Cornell CUP Robotics Project Team. Engineering a lab assistant Robot named C1C0 who resembles R2-D2 from Star Wars. Engineered and populated a printed circuit board to supply enough current to the different parts of C1C0. The power board contains one 24V (Volt), one 12V, two 5V, and two variable voltage outputs. Worked on a new communication bus protocol between CPU and separate microcontrollers using python and C. Interview prospective team members, organize team meetings, and solve difficult problems with team.

Worked as a part of a team on the EXE:5000 machine: a photolithography system capable of printing sub-2nm processor chips. Accelerated qualification process for magnetic flux signal conditioning PCB by creating robust test setup. Designed, built and tested two diagnostic PCB’s that included signal converters, current sense circuits, and test points.

Honed skills in schematic and PCB design by creating a single-ended to differential transceiver board and a JTAG adapter board. Researched, ordered, implemented, and managed entire data acquisition system for radar shelter. This data included temperatures, three phase voltage/current, coolant temperatures and flow rates. Modified schematic for new Baxter blood pressure device. Updated receiver analysis template.

Performed various construction tasks such as demolition, flooring, painting, installation, finish/rough carpentry, etc. Communicated clearly with other carpenters on crucial tasks to come up with solutions to unexpected problems.
