About
Highly experienced Hardware Design Engineer with over 18 years of expertise in end-to-end PCB development, from concept and schematic design to layout, prototyping, and production. Proven track record in designing complex, multi-layer boards for 5G Radio Units, telecom backbone networks (GPON/DWDM), industrial automation, and high-speed data storage systems (PCIe Gen4).
What I Offer:
Complete PCB design services: Schematic Capture, Multi-layer Board Layout, Signal/Power Integrity (SI/PI) analysis, and EMI/EMC compliance.
Experience with high-speed interfaces: PCIe, Ethernet, NVMe, DDR, and optical networking.
Hardware Security Integration: Threat modeling, Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL), and Hardware Root of Trust implementation.
Full prototype support: Board bring-up, debugging, testing, and validation.
Expertise in power design: DC-DC converters, power sequencing, and IR drop analysis.
Tools: Proficient in industry-standard EDA tools; capable of RTL coding for FPGA integration.
Key Projects:
Designed 5G Radio Unit hardware at Dell Technologies, leading power design and security architecture.
Developed PCIe Gen4 Drive Interface Boards for high-density storage arrays.
Created safety-certified hardware for industrial 3D sensing cameras at Rockwell Automation.
Led hardware design for GPON and 100G DWDM systems deployed in India's national optical fiber network.
I deliver reliable, production-ready hardware solutions with clear communication, thorough documentation, and a focus on quality and performance. Available for freelance projects ranging from design reviews and consultation to complete board development.
