here is one of my evil birds

Nita - Advisor (Former Technical Lead)Nita E

About Me
Hi, I’m Nita and I have been on the hardware team since January of 2019. I just finished ECE 4A. I somehow became a lead by sticking around long enough and not breaking too much stuff, so that’s pretty cool.

I have worked on charger interface, power select, and all of the lights boards for MSXIV since joining.

I look forward to meeting all of you this term!

Talk to Me About

  • General questions (system overview, manufacturing, tasks etc.)

  • Job hunting

  • ECE stuff/electrical hardware theory

  • Killer robots

  • Balkan Brass, Melodic Death Metal, or Synthwave

Alastair - Technical Lead Alastair Correya

Hey everyone! I’m Alastair and I’m currently in 2B of Computer Engineering. I’ve been a part of Midnight Sun since September 2020 and can certainly say it’s been a rewarding experience since then. I hope to meet a bunch of y’all online as well as on-campus for a bunch of onsite work (or just randomly for fun)

Talk to Me About

  • Any questions you have about the car

  • Any crazy idea you might have! I would love to learn more

  • Sports

  • Pop music

  • How The Office gets funnier each time you watch it

Lucy - Technical Lead Lucy He

Hi everyone! I’m Lucy and I am currently in 2A Electrical Engineering. I’ve joined Midnight Sun since September 2020. I am not super knowledgeable/experienced but I try my best to contribute to the team:) I’ve previously worked on power consumption evaluation and the electrical mockup connections spreadsheet, and I’m currently working on solar. Look forward to working with you all!

Talk to Me About

  • Anything and I’ll try my best to help:)

Odi - Technical Lead Odianosen Okojie

Hey everyone! My name is Odianosen but most people call me Odi. I’m currently in my 3A term of Mechatronics Engineering and I’ve been on the team since September 2020.

I’ve learnt so much since then but I still feel like there’s so much I don’t know yet. I’ve worked on the Controller Testing Board and I am currently working on the next version of the UV Cutoff Board.

Looking forward to meeting everyone soon!

Talk to Me About

  • Electrical theory (looking to learn too)

  • Projects you’re working on

  • Co-op struggles

  • Anything!

Ricky - Technical Lead Ricky H

Hey! I’m Ricky. I recently finished my 2B term for Electrical Engineering and am currently on my 4th co-op term. I’ve been a part of the Midnight Sun hardware team since September 2019.

Previously, I worked on the BMS carrier board and currently I am responsible with the MCI/Pre-charge board.

Hope to meet you all soon!

Tanish - Technical Lead & Hardware PM

Hey everyone, I’m Tanish and I’m a 3A mechatronics engineering student. I’ve worked on the UV cut-off board, lights, and a bunch of other boards. I’ve been on the team since May 2020.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy being on the team. I look forwards to working with all of you.

Talk to Me About

  • Whatever you want, I’m a good listener

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
