As an Embedded Systems & Hardware Design Engineer, I develop robust, production-grade electronic circuits and printed circuit boards for demanding real-world applications. My work spans high-precision analog signal conditioning, embedded integration, and automated manufacturing validation. Key engineering highlights include: High-Precision Signal Conditioning: Engineered complete analog front-end boards for traffic monitoring and vehicle axle detection. Filtered and amplified raw signals from piezoelectric sensors using low-noise operational amplifiers paired with high-resolution data acquisition pipelines. Embedded Hardware Architecture: Designed integrated PCB layouts around industry-standard microcontrollers, including ESP32 and ATmega328P architectures, combining microcontrollers, peripheral interfaces, power regulation, and sensor suites onto unified boards. Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation & Validation: Built custom automated testing hardware using optocouplers and MCU-driven frequency generation to accurately simulate roadside vehicle speeds, enabling rigorous lab validation of measurement hardware before deployment. System Integration & Board Consolidation: Streamlined modular multi-board assemblies into consolidated single-board systems, reducing assembly overhead and improving thermal and electrical performance. Electromechanical Alignment: Applied 3D CAD modeling to verify footprint clearances, enclosure fitting, and connector placement, ensuring seamless mechanical-to-PCB integration.
