Kaitlyn Leitherer contributed to the stanford-ssi/samwise-avionics repository by delivering fabrication-ready manufacturing data for both the Battery board and MPPT addon board, including Gerber files, STEP models, and detailed component placements. She applied her expertise in PCB design and ECAD tools, using KiCad and STEP to ensure accurate layer definitions and netlists for downstream visualization. Kaitlyn also resolved a trace connectivity issue in the thermistor circuit by correcting segment coordinates and UUIDs, restoring signal integrity. Additionally, she enhanced the mainboard’s STEP representation with improved graphical styling, supporting clearer stakeholder communication and accelerating prototyping. Her work demonstrated thoroughness and technical depth.
