Contributed to the SCFormulaElectric/USC-Electrical-Systems repository by designing and refining hardware systems for an accumulator platform over four months. Focused on schematic versioning, hardware test infrastructure, and production-ready PCB designs, the work emphasized maintainability and traceability through structured file management and version control. Leveraging KiCad for schematic capture and PCB layout, the developer delivered a reusable test harness, improved voltage indicator reliability, and integrated a battery management system into the accumulator schematic. Each feature was committed with detailed change tracking, supporting rapid iteration and future expansion. The approach prioritized robust electrical engineering practices and streamlined onboarding for new contributors.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for SCFormulaElectric/USC-Electrical-Systems: Key hardware design upgrades completed to advance production readiness and reliability. Consolidated updates across PCB designs, integrated the battery management system (BMS) in the accumulator schematic, and refined the precharge board design for smoother production ramp. These changes prepare the platform for first article and mass production, reduce rework risk, and support longer-term cost efficiency. Major bugs fixed: None reported in this scope; focus for this month was on hardware design improvements and production-readiness initiatives. Overall impact and accomplishments: Improved producibility and reliability of the USC-Electrical-Systems hardware platform; improved BOM accuracy and PCBA positioning for procurement; foundational changes enabling faster iteration cycles and lower manufacturing risk. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Hardware design consolidation, PCB design best practices, BMS integration, precharge circuit optimization, BOM and PCBA data management, change control and commit traceability (commit hashes included).
