Experience

• Hardware and PCB Design Engineer SHIBLI Electronics · Full-time Feb 2024 – Present 2 yrs 3 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.
• Electronics Design Engineer Thermalog · Full-time Feb 2021 – Feb 2024 3 yrs Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan — 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.
