In my career so far, I have worked with RF/Defence Electronics/Semiconductor technologies and contributed to various projects under the heads as follows:
-** Circuit design: schematic diagram, validation of results,
-** PCB Design: Layout, DRC, Verification tool, BOM list and Gerber files,
-** Embedded system design: FPGA, Microcontroller, DSP,
-** IC Design: low offset precision analog op-amps, comparators, cap less LDO, Buck/Boost DC-DC switches, low voltage band gaps in lower technology nodes,
-** RF Design: Antennas, Filters, LNA, VCO, Mixer,
-** Electrical systems: Solar Inverters, Smart Chargers, Power Filters, DC-DC (Buck-Boost) Converters.
**Why Hire Me?**
If you are seeking an ideal candidate who can independently or with minimal supervision drive the entire process of turning your idea into a reality, I am the right professional for you. With my knowledge, I can handle the complete lifecycle well, including studying product requirements/industry standards, proposing suitable architectures and work plans, defining micro-architectures, driving verification, implementing and verifying designs, and validating the final product.
Feel free to reach out to me to discuss your project requirements and how I can contribute to its success.
