Hello! My name is Nathan Kong.#
I’m a second-year Electrical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, who is currently delving into advanced concepts and techniques in PCB design.
I just wrapped up my internship in Singapore for the space startup GALAMAD AEROSPACE, where I am helping design and prototype space electronics. My work has included the design of a low-cost coarse sun sensor module, the redesign of a fine sun sensor module, and the installation of PCB manufacturing capabilities in our office. I have taken the next step in my electronics design career through GALAMAD, and I aspire to keep progressing forward.
Since joining Electrium Mobility when I arrived in Waterloo, I’ve participated in PCB design for our electrical projects, such as the e-scooter, carber fibre skateboard, and custom electronic speed controller. Over my first work-term at Hatch, I worked under the Nuclear business unit. From the handling and storage of aging nuclear waste systems, to impacting First Nations engineering capacity development in Atlantic Canada, I absorbed project managment skills and the world of consulting + the energy sector.
In my free time, I love listening to music. Name an artist or genre, and I’ve probably listened to them. My main genres are EDM, hip-hop, and kpop. I also design keyboards: I’m in the middle of designing my first fullsize keyboard, the sg75. Lastly, I play collegiate League of Legends for Waterloo, objectively(!) make good food, and collect stickers.
