Arizona State University Work Values

Daily Duties at Arizona State University:

• Team leader (oversaw 3 undergraduates, collaborated with >5 vendors and >5 industry professionals, while coordinating with supervisor) in development of friction and adhesion testing device for switchable adhesives operating in extreme environments • Assisted in other robotic project technical design solutions, brainstorming, and controller coding, while continuously improving areas of own project, such as software and controls • Successfully designed and problem solved in relation to budget and timeline restrictions • Successfully checked, iterated, and confirmed designs through engineering principles • Successfully designed environment for testing bio-inspired switching mechanisms for space technology and extreme-environment applications • Successfully wrote and executed adhesion testing controls (LabVIEW System Design Software) • Successfully delivered weekly technical updates and solutions to BIRTH lab and supervisor • Formulated proposals for grants, fellowships, and other available funding for the BIRTH lab, while contacting government officials (i.e.: NASA) for potential mentorship • Represented ASU and the BIRTH lab at conferences (i.e.: International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition 2016) • Successfully wrote applications and abstracts for future conferences and meetings

What they like about Arizona State University:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
