 Responsible for new product development & sustaining of existing products across 4 acquisitions. o Creating Hardware Requirement Specification from Customer Requirement Specification.o Feasibility study and Concept proposal based on BOM targeto Design, build and test prototype hardwareo Approval testing for CE (EMC & LVD) and UL, FM, CSA certificationso Sustaining involves VAVE, obsolescence management and internal/external Quality issues. Lead the hardware development on MaxVU Rail, a DIN rail mounted process controller/Safety limiter with universal input, Relay & Linear Outputs and RS485 communications.o Met the cost target for low cost region and made further saving of 10% by reducing the number of PCB variants & commonising components/mechanics.o Successfully obtained UL & FM safety approval  Successfully redesigned power supply on KS98-2 to help launch the producto Improved Radiated EMI by 10dB to pass the standard Created automated test architecture for KS98-2 modular product.o Flexible with future product changes without complete redesign and reduces downtime Implemented UL DAP which reduced approximately 60% of the UL approval timescales.  Implemented automatic generation of surface mount assembly drawings from Altium, eliminating human errors with a time saving of over 2 hours per PCB.  Created analogue design for high accuracy signal conditioning and measurement. Signals range from μV detection in thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges, 4-20mA current transducers etc.  Devised digital design for 8/32bit Microcontrollers (STM32 M0/4/7), Full Speed USB device only/OTG, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, Profibus etc.  Designed and upgraded Universal AC mains SMPS ranging from 5W to 20W, low power DC/DC Converters. (Isolated Fly back, Buck, Half Bridge Configurations)  Gained proficiency in a variety of HMI (LED blocks, LCDs, OLED, Touchscreens)  Instrumental in mentoring junior members of the team and managed on-site and off-site contractors

 Electro Magnetic Compatibility and Safety testing of productso Creating test plan based on EN61326 and EN61010 o Setting up and operating equipment for Radiated Emissions & Immunity, Conducted Emissions & Immunity, Surges, Burst, Electro-Static Discharge, Internal temperature rise and Hi-Pot.  Building and debugging of prototype PCB’s which involve soldering of Surface mount, through-hole components and sourcing of electronic components based on design requirements.  Performed Competitor analysis on hardware performance and ease of use Created Trouble shooting guide for repairs team.

 Worked in R & D team performing reliability tests on CPV module and assemblies.  Devised and carried out tests based on IEC 62108 standards.  Performed 8D root cause analysis on CPV receiver failures.
