Present
1 yrs 10 mos
Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan
Layout Tool: Altium Designer
Design Scope: FPGA PCBs, High-Speed/Mixed Signal (Analog-Digital) designs, specialized RF Designs, Power, and Flex/
rigid-flex PCB solutions. Expertise includes HDI PCB design incorporating Macro and Micro Vias for PCBs up to 8~12
layers.
Core Responsibilities:
• Analyze and interpret customer requirements to design comprehensive block diagrams, forming the foundation for
complete circuit creation.
• Simulate circuit performance and validate design concepts prior to developing detailed schematics using tools like
LTspice.
• Thoroughly review and interpret component datasheets to ensure the accuracy of design specifications.
• Define PCB design setups, establish design rules, and perform manual routing with emphasis on EMI/EMC and SI
considerations.
• Create board panel drawings, generate Fabrication files, and perform open-short checks and answer Engineering
Queries from the Manufacturers.
• Collaborate effectively with mechanical, electronic, and test/application engineers to align design requirements with
project constraints.
• Resolve design-related issues in a timely manner and provide continual support to the manufacturing team.
• Practice industry-standard principles of DFM, DFT, and DFA, recommending design improvements when needed.

— Designed and developed prototype board-level wireless communication (battery-operated and power-efficient)
circuits and systems.
— Designed Rigid-Flex, Flex-only, and Standard PCBs using Altium Designer (up to 4 layers).
— Developed cost-effective methods and low-level software to automate hardware testing procedures.
— Document all design specifications & implementation details; rendered keen insight to accomplish the project from
scratch to final product major tasks, including designing, verification, assembly, and testing.
— Selection of components (ICs, Resistors, Capacitors, etc.) and preparing cost-effective BOM (Bill of Materials) for
circuits with ratings and standards.
— Worked on embedded systems with many processors such as Arduino, NXP JN5189, Si Labs MGM21, and TI CC2652.
I also worked on communications I2C, SPI, UART and wireless Zigbee mesh-networking protocol.
— Design a Java-based Android app for monitoring data.
