what people say about me: "Ruurd is next to a creative engineer a good communicator with new ideas and creative solutions. " I enjoy learning a lot about a topic and using it in the real world. In the last years I'm focused on sustable engineering. Wind turbines, solar propulsion and energy storage are my mean interests. Data collection and analysing is due to my practical know how a specialization.

I'm an electronics engineer specializing in analog and mixed-signal PCB design, taking boards from schematic capture through controlled-impedance layout to fabrication. I recently earned my BS in Electronics Engineering from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, where I built my foundation on the hardware side of the stack: multi-layer PCB design, fine-pitch BGA and high-speed differential routing, power delivery, and analog design down to the IC level. Across university projects, national competitions, and research, I've designed a range of boards — including a 4-layer software-defined-radio front-end built around a 16-bit, 200 MSPS ADC, a 6-layer MPU system board carrying high-speed interfaces (Gigabit Ethernet, MIPI CSI, USB), and several STM32-based systems. That work has given me hands-on experience with the details that make high-speed boards actually work: impedance control, differential-pair length matching, clean power delivery, and design-for-manufacturability. I've also worked on the analog side at the circuit level. In a research role in analog IC design, I designed and validated op-amps, filters, and a programmable-gain amplifier against strict specifications for gain, bandwidth, phase margin, THD, and stability, running PVT, Monte Carlo, noise, and stability analyses in Cadence ADE-XL and LTSpice. More recently, I completed a hardware design internship at Analog Devices. I'm comfortable across the full flow rather than one slice of it , schematic, layout, and the fabrication and assembly outputs (Gerbers, BOM, pick-and-place), plus the firmware and analysis to bring a board up and characterize it on the bench. What I enjoy most is the point where careful layout meets real signal and power-integrity constraints, and turning a schematic into something that manufactures cleanly and works. I've tested that under pressure, too: I've placed in several national engineering competitions, including one where I designed a complete 4-layer PCB, from schematic to fabrication files, within a strict 4-hour limit. Tools and technologies I work with: PCB & EDA: Altium Designer, KiCad, Cadence Allegro Analog & simulation: Cadence ADE-XL, LTSpice Firmware & analysis: C, C++, Python, MATLAB, Assembly Also: STM32 development, DSP, and 3D printing (FreeCAD, Bambu Studio) Having just completed my degree, I'm available immediately and open to roles in PCB design, analog and mixed-signal hardware, and embedded systems, on-site or remote. If that lines up with what your team is building, I'd love to connect, I'm always happy to talk hardware and share my portfolio
