Introduction
Hello! I'm Daniel Schnieder, a fourth-year Electrical and Computer Engineering
student at The Ohio State University graduating in May 2026. I have a passion for embedded systems,
computer architecture, and software design.
Currently, I serve as the Electrical Lead for Buckeye Solar Racing, where I manage a team of 50+ students
in the end-to-end design, integration, and testing of the electrical systems for the team's new solar vehicle,
including battery, driver controls, high-voltage, solar array, and telemetry.
Beyond design, I work as an Undergraduate Research Assistant, conducting reliability testing on SiC MOSFETs for
Ford Motor Company to advance long-term performance of electric vehicles. Additionally, I work as a Laboratory Monitor/Teaching Assistant,
where I assist over 70 students with circuit design, microcontroller-based systems, and hardware troubleshooting.
I am passionate about bridging the gap between hardware and software to create efficient, real-world solutions. My experience
spans from low-level PCB design and microcontroller programming to high-level data visualization and system architecture.
