Objective

An active Schulich UAV electrical project focused on developing a custom ESC suited to the aircraft's propulsion and integration needs.

02

My contribution

Project leadership
Requirements planning
Architecture review
Team coordination
Design-review coordination
Test-planning oversight

03

Design process

The project uses staged development: system requirements, architecture and loss analysis, schematic review, low-risk subsystem testing, PCB implementation, and instrumented propulsion validation.

04

Technical challenges

The design had to resolve these system-level and implementation requirements.

Propulsion-system requirements
Power-stage topology
Gate-drive architecture
Current and voltage sensing
Fault protection
Instrumented validation

05

Validation or results

Development is underway. Technical details and measured results will be added as design-review and validation milestones are completed.

06

Images and diagrams

High-resolution screenshots, annotated diagrams, prototype photographs, waveforms, and test results will be added as the project progresses.
