Peter Kim

I'm an electrical engineering student at the University of British Columbia. Currently, I write firmware at UBC Sailbot and build products at UBC Smart City.

When I'm free, I watch movies, take long walks, and study investments.

Experiences

Smith and Andersen

As an electrical engineer co-op, I was responsible for drafting and designing electrical systems for residential buildings, including power, lighting and fire alarm systems.

Notable Projects: King George Tower, Richmond Center, Univ. of Waterloo, Isabella Residences, Maplewood Garden, Laval Square, VAHA Apartments, OAK & 37th, The Steller

Weir Motion Metrics

As a hardware engineer co-op, I was responsible for testing both the electrical and software systems. My role later extended to writing new production manuals and reviewing out-dated BOMs, as well as streamlining the manufacturing processes.

Notable Projects: ShovelMetrics, RS232-RS422 Converter, AC/DC & DC/DC Power Supplies

Dorigo Systems

As an assembler, I performed mechanical and electrical assembly of PCBs. My role later extended to a wide range of testing procedures, such as in-circuit testing, flying probe testing, functional testing, and burn-in testing. I also operated and maintained a THT machine.
