About & Resume

➣ Hardware Architect

• Architected an outdoor solar-powered embedded platform for mobile gateway and asset-tracking products, enabling autonomous multi-year operation through custom solar harvesting, high-efficiency power management, and graphene supercapacitor energy storage. Defined the system power architecture and integrated multi-radio connectivity (Bluetooth, Cellular, GPS) within a passively cooled enclosure engineered for outdoor reliability, partial-shading conditions, and design-for-manufacturability in high-volume production.

• Redesigned existing products to improve functionality, manufacturability, and production yield by implementing circuit, PCB, and test improvements that increased production yield while reducing cost and improving reliability. Partnered with manufacturing engineers and contract manufacturers to improve PCB fabrication and assembly quality standards.

• Partnered with RF antenna engineers to design and integrate custom PCB antennas for Bluetooth, Cellular, GPS, LoRa, and RFID radios across multiple products, balancing RF performance, PCB layout constraints, enclosure limitations, and manufacturability to deliver reliable wireless connectivity in production hardware.

• Diagnosed and resolved manufacturing and field hardware failures by analyzing production defects and RMA returns to determine root causes, implementing corrective actions, adding regression coverage to prevent recurrence, and adjusting process check loops to catch escapes earlier while improving functional tester design and methodology to reduce production takt time and improve product quality.

➣ Design & Sustaining Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering Support

• Architected mixed-signal hardware subsystems for industrial sensing and monitoring products, integrating low-noise analog signal conditioning, embedded power supplies, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces to support flagship, lateral, and underground monitoring platforms.

• Improved the reliability and longevity of the flagship product through component analysis, circuit redesign, and PCB improvements that strengthened signal integrity and maintained compliance with electrical and regulatory requirements.

• Developed system integration for LTE and mesh radios within IoT sensor platforms by coordinating PCB layout, antenna integration, and mechanical constraints with RF and mechanical engineering teams to meet carrier requirements and product reliability goals.

• Implemented over twenty automated design verification programs and multiple engineering specification tests using Python to control oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and other lab instrumentation, improving validation coverage and enabling repeatable automated measurements.

• Led 4G LTE certification programs across major carriers including AT&T and Verizon, coordinating with third-party labs and internal teams to achieve more than seven PTCRB certifications and multiple GCF approvals for production IoT devices.

• Performed high-voltage and insulation verification testing in third-party labs to validate product compliance with IEEE-495 standards, including lightning impulse testing, insulation resistance verification, and qualification for 69 kV environments and 25 kA fault conditions.

• Resolved manufacturing and field hardware issues through systematic failure analysis, corrective action implementation, and improvements to functional tester design and methodology, reducing production takt time and improving product quality.

• Validated product reliability through preparation and instrumentation of environmental stress testing including HALT, HASS, rapid thermal cycling, and 85°C/85% RH testing, enabling engineering teams to collect actionable reliability data and refine product robustness.

➣ Industrial & Commerical Power Systems Engineering

• Designed mission-critical electrical power systems for hospitals and data centers, developing distribution architectures that supported continuous operation and emergency backup requirements during utility outages. 

• Designed electrical distribution infrastructure for commercial building projects, supporting renovations and system upgrades through load analysis, power distribution planning, and electrical system documentation.
