Electronic design and product development

Electronic design using Altium tools (schematic, BoM, PCB layout, libraries and Gerber release) for a ComExpress Type 6 motherboard used in a Software-Defined Radio (SDR) application. The design includes high-speed design and layout for 1Gb Ethernet, M.2 SSD (PCIe and SATA), MiniPICe, Display Port, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0. The design also makes extensive use of embedded power supplies for both DC and AC operations. Other responsible encompass, test OS and test software (Ubuntu 18.04 OS using software written in C++ and Bash shell).
