Dahee Kim contributed to the stanford-ssi/samwise-avionics repository by designing and refining hardware systems, focusing on manufacturability, reliability, and maintainability. Over five months, Dahee expanded KiCad footprint libraries, optimized PCB layouts, and improved silkscreen readability to reduce assembly errors. Using skills in PCB design, 3D modeling, and electronic engineering, Dahee generated production-ready Gerber files and integrated new 3D CAD models for enhanced visualization and review. In addition, Dahee addressed simulation fidelity in tathagatasrimani/codesign by refactoring C++ code for accurate 16-bit register handling, demonstrating depth in both hardware and software aspects of electronic system development.

October 2024 performance summary for stanford-ssi/samwise-avionics focused on improving manufacturability and production readiness through PCB silkscreen readability improvements and critical footprint corrections. Delivered clearer silkscreen labels and organized layout, plus adjusted project configuration for layer visibility and default line widths to streamline design reviews. Fixed component footprints and placement by replacing the Schottky diode with the correct part and updating small-resistor footprints, ensuring proper assembly and operation. These changes reduce risk of misinterpretation during assembly, improve test visibility and inspection, and support the next production cycle.
