Your Fall 2020 Hardware Leads & Project Managers
Picture
Aashmika Mali - Technical Lead
About Me
Hi! My name is Aashmika and I have been working on the Hardware team for Midnight Sun since September of 2018! I have been one of the Hardware leads for about a year now, and help make sure that the design and manufacturing of all our electrical systems is thought out and done in time for racing MS14 in the summer of 2021.
On midsun I have helped design a bunch of the boards (like DC-DC and Solar Sense) and ensure that our systems level architecture is suitable for the design of MS14. I have also conducted a bunch of the knowledge shares during the S20 term so you may hear my voice a lot LOL. This term I will be leading the development of the electrical mockup that will be used to conduct integration testing on our powertrain, battery management and driver controls systems.
I’ve co-oped at Magna and Apple for hardware positions. Feel free to reach out to me for looking over resumes and/or any questions about prepping for hardware interviews! I look forward to meeting all of you (virtually) and it should be a fun term.
Talk to Me About
Any questions about systems and board level design, operation, validation, assembly/manufacturing
Any questions about tasks you’re working on
Any Altium or A365 related questions
Any questions about the hardware team’s job
Anything about EE/Hardware coops

About Me
Nice to meet you! I’m in my 2B school term in SYDE, with a background in UI/UX Design and QA. I joined back in Fall 2018 on the Business and Interiors teams. This term, I’ll be one of the overarching PMs alongside Catherine where I’ll be helping out Hardware, Business, and Interiors. I’m also leading the design of the Infotainment system under Interiors.
Talk to Me About
Just about anything non-technical for hardware (I’m in the same boat and learning like you guys - just joined Hardware in August 
). You can ask me about the other subteams I’m a part of and I’m also in the job search realm for UI / UX Design. Also down to chat about sports and my weird music tastes (Cpop, Kpop, Jpop, Instrumental, Classical… yikes)
Skills to Thrive on the Subteam
Eagerness to learn
Willingness to learn/being persistent → hardware is a learning curve but overcoming it is rewarding
Time management - working on a design team and school is always a balancing act
Interest in electrical systems and manufacturing
[Insert skills (can be technical and soft skills) to do well on the subteam]
