Background

About Jacob Thibault

Technical Skills • Developed analog comparison circuits for sensor encoding of mechanical motion, using technical knowledge and research into available tools, resulting in functional simulation • Created physical testbeds for purchased safety systems to research function and map out signal ranges, yielding improved understanding for team and integration of equipment into car. • Ensured signal conditioning and validation was implemented on previous systems by inspection and repair of faulty elements, restoring function to inoperable subsystems. • Reverse engineered undocumented systems from previous cars for use on current models, resulting in improved understanding of wiring harnesses and electrical management. Communication Skills • Coordinated sponsorships for FSAE team by managing business relations, team timelines, team emails, and team contracts to yield strong sponsor base and secure materials and funds for the team • Managed development of truss architecture by establishing deliverables, setting timelines and due dates, and ensuring quality of work performed by group members, yielding excellent grade • Organized manufacturing of car livery from digital logo to car decals, by organizing print orders, manipulation of graphic files, ordering of materials and tools, and coordinating volunteer members for production of physical medium, resulting in quality decals and polished product
