Product qualification / Compliances test experiences. Experience in product qualification for DO-160G, JSS55555 & MIL standard. 6. Wired Connectivity - Ethernet, USB etc. 7. DC/DC Power supply design, LDOs, PoE-PD Design. Battery operated product design experience. 8. Test and Debug - Board Bring Up, Interface testing, Level zero coding. 9. Knowledge of debugging tools like IDEs, Emulators. 10. Instrument Knowledge - CROs, Multimeters, Logic Analyzers. Spectrum Analyzers. 11. Multi-layer PCB Layout, DFM & DFA knowledge. 12. Exposure to design tools - ORCAD, Allegro / Mentor Graphics / Altium 13. Experience of interaction with PCB fabrication house and assembly house for hardware build. 14. Design analysis for SI, PDN, Thermal, EMI/EMC 15. Product qualification / Compliances test experience. In my career so far, I have worked with RF/Defence Electronics/Semiconductor technologies and contributed to various projects under the heads as follows: -** Circuit design: schematic diagram, validation of results, -** PCB Design: Layout, DRC, Verification tool, BOM list and Gerber files, -** Embedded system design: FPGA, Microcontroller, DSP, -** IC Design: low offset precision analog op-amps, comparators, cap less LDO, Buck/Boost DC-DC switches, low voltage band gaps in lower technology nodes, -** RF Design: Antennas, Filters, LNA, VCO, Mixer, -** Electrical systems: Solar Inverters, Smart Chargers, Power Filters, DC-DC (Buck-Boost) Converters. **Why Hire Me?** If you are seeking an ideal candidate who can independently or with minimal supervision drive the entire process of turning your idea into a reality, I am the right professional for you. With my knowledge, I can handle the complete lifecycle well, including studying product requirements/industry standards, proposing suitable architectures and work plans, defining micro-architectures, driving verification, implementing and verifying designs, and validating the final product. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss your project requirements and how I can contribute to its success.
