AerNos manufactures a novel air particulate sensor to be able to detect trace amounts of certain gases. I designed an evaluation system to calibrate their sensors inside an incubator. I designed a chip socket system to easily test their sensors after manufacturing. This included a bed-of-nails style design that allowed the technician to easily swap sensors in and out of their system. I built an air tight chamber using inert materials to test each sensor using volatile gases. Created an airtight seal against a PCB, which required special trace routing, o-ring sealing, and via filling. Designed an easy-to-access shelf system using rotary bearing, linear slides, quick disconnect tube connectors, and toggle clamps.
