Electrical engineer with strong background in designing embedded electro-optical systems and developing analytical lab instruments. My experience covers the entire product development process from concept phase to product launch. As a project electrical lead, I directed a team of electrical engineers to complete the electrical design of a complex instrument.My expertise is in electrical design and troubleshooting. I have developed embedded microprocessor and FPGA controller boards which involved design techniques in electro-optics, analog, digital, power and motion control.Flexible circuit boards have become an important tool in solving packaging problems. I have utilized both flexible and rigid PCBs of up to six layers.Troubleshooting is a critical skill in locating and correcting design issues. I have demonstrated a high level of troubleshooting ability. In fact, I am the recipient of an innovation award for devising a unique method to reduce electrical noise.Last but not least, selling to international markets requires worldwide regulatory compliance. As an EMC specialist, I have extensive hands-on experience in designing to comply with European CE Mark directives and regulatory testing of final products.I have a track record of designing new products that proved to be very successful in the analytical instrumentation market. One of the instruments I designed endured a 15-year market life and another instrument is still going strong after 9 years. I am confident that I can apply my skills and knowledge to make a remarkable contribution in any new challenges.Specialties: • Low noise front-end photon detector circuits.• Signal conditioning, data conversion.• Microprocessor system, FPGA, USB hub.• LCD interface, I2C bus, RS-232, SPI.• DC-DC switching power supplies.• Circuits for lamp, LED, TE cooler and battery charger.• Stepper motors, micro-stepping, solenoid actuator.• Laser control.• Multi-layer flex and rigid PCB design.• Tools: Mentor Graphics, PCAD, Viewdraw.• CE mark, EN61326, EN61010.• Design to comply with EMC, LVD and RoHS.
