Northrop Grumman Collaboration Project

UGV electrical/digital hardware — Nucleo shield design for power regulation and IMU integration across a multi-team program.

Role: Electrical / Digital HW • Program: NGCP

Overview

The Northrop Grumman Collaboration Project (NGCP) is a joint technology demonstration with Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly SLO, giving students a real-world, interdisciplinary environment to apply classroom knowledge. I’m on the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) team, focused on the Nucleo Shield for regulated power delivery and IMU sensing. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Accomplishments

Designed PCBs/schematics in Altium Designer for vehicle electronics; owned power regulation and IMU blocks for the shield.
Sourced/selected components balancing performance, cost, and availability.
Collaborated with mechanical, powertrain, and aero subteams for reliable integration.
