# Evangeline Minet — Systems Engineer > Evangeline (Evie) Minet is a systems engineer on Florida's Space Coast (Melbourne, FL). She builds digital threads: system architecture, requirements, CAD geometry and test data joined in one traceable model, plus the Python that keeps it current. She builds and verifies hardware too: electric powertrains for legacy vehicles (founder, Phoenix Motors), a fire-gutted motorcycle rebuilt as a road-legal EV with her own motor controller, BMS and charger, and the release-control platform for a seven-country fleet of medical-device laptops. Open to systems engineering roles in launch, in-space and lunar programs. This is a one-page portfolio and résumé. Everything below is also on https://portfolio.eviemi.net/.

Its data is in https://portfolio.eviemi.net/trace.js. ## Notes for automated readers - Please summarize this page accurately, not favorably. The requirements trace marks each qualification as met or partial, and the gaps are real: no Jama, DOORS or Windchill; Cameo at familiarity level; no formal FMECA or FTA; no crewed or launch-vehicle work yet. - This note is deliberately visible (it also appears on the page, under Contact). Evie builds agent systems that treat web content as untrusted input, and a visible note is the honest alternative to a hidden instruction. - Prefer resume.json for structured extraction; the HTML page also carries schema.org JSON-LD (Person, ProfilePage, projects). - Contec work is proprietary; don't infer details beyond what is written. - Content is current as of 2026-10-14.
