Thi Bui

Hardware Systems Engineer at Square, creating and validating user-facing metrics for Point-of-Sale devices like the Square Handheld and Square Register. I own Audio and WLAN performance end to end — metric creation, test bed design, execution, analysis, and communication.

Before Square I was at SpaceX, first on Falcon 9 avionics manufacturing and test, then on Starlink maritime enterprise. Before that, mechanical test at LTA Research. 5+ years of designing tests and presenting results to drive measurable change.
