Lead PCB Design Engineer | 13+ Years | Altium / Cadence / Mentor Expert | Multi-Domain: Automotive, Defence, Medical, Railways | EMI/EMC | DFM | Rigid, Flex & MCPCB Specialist

I am a seasoned PCB Design Engineer with over 13 years of experience delivering end-to-end hardware solutions across high-performance sectors, including Automotive, Defence, Medical Devices, Railways, Lighting, and Agriculture.

My core strength lies in multi-layer, high-speed PCB design, with deep expertise in rigid, flex, rigid-flex, and MCPCBs (Aluminium Alloy). I specialise in the complete product development cycle — from schematic capture, component library creation, and layout, to DFM, documentation, and certification support.

I’m proficient with a wide range of tools including Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, OrCAD, Mentor PADS, Pulsonix, and CAM tools like CAM350 and CAM Master. My designs consistently meet EMI/EMC, signal integrity, and industry compliance standards, ensuring manufacturability and reliability in critical applications.

Having worked with 13 organisations globally and across domains, I bring a unique understanding of diverse product lifecycles, stakeholder collaboration, and cross-functional team dynamics (embedded, mechanical, and manufacturing). I’ve contributed to projects across R&D, prototyping, optimisation, and volume production.

I am currently upskilling in Signal Integrity, Embedded Hardware Integration, and Product Lifecycle Management — preparing for the next level as a Lead Engineer or Hardware Product Manager, where I can combine my technical depth with leadership and system-level thinking.

I’m open to global opportunities in R&D-focused companies, OEMs, startups, or engineering organisations where I can drive innovation, lead multidisciplinary teams, and contribute to the creation of next-generation hardware products.
