Experience

• Senior Hardware Engineer Tempo Communications Hungary Kft. · Full-time Jan 2022 – Present 4 yrs 9 mos Budapest, Hungary Develop schematics and complex multilayer PCB layouts for telecommunications, timing, signal-generation and measurement equipment. Work spans MCU-, FPGA- and processor-based hardware, RF and mixed-signal circuitry, high-speed interfaces and DC/DC power supplies.
  Take designs from component selection through manufacturing handover, addressing signal integrity, power integrity, EMC, thermal and mechanical requirements. Investigate production issues and implement design improvements.
  Coordinate component sourcing and PCB/PCBA manufacturing, serving as the primary contact for PCBWin. Collaborate daily with US-based engineering teams and mentor colleagues in Altium Designer and PCB layout practices.
• Mixed Signal Design Engineer BHE Bonn-Hungary Elektronikai Kft. · Full-time Oct 2016 – Jan 2026 9 yrs 3 mos Budapest, Hungary Designed schematics and PCB layouts for RF and mixed-signal electronics, including SDR transmitters, radar equipment and frequency converters. Developed complete SDR digital hardware integrating Xilinx SoCs, ADCs/DACs, DDR memory, power supplies and peripheral interfaces.
  Designed RF upconverter boards on Rogers RO4003 substrate, including two-stage conversion from a 70 MHz IF to selectable frequencies within 2.4–2.6 GHz. Addressed signal integrity, controlled impedance, grounding, power distribution and manufacturability in demanding RF applications.
• Layout Design Engineer Robert Bosch Kft. · Full-time Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 4 yrs Budapest, Hungary Designed complex multilayer PCBs for automotive electronics, including a 16-layer automated-driving compute platform with a 2,500+ pin BGA, NVLink and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Applied SI/PI simulation feedback to refine high-speed routing and power distribution while meeting EMC, thermal, mechanical and manufacturing requirements.
  Performed technical reviews of colleagues’ layouts and represented the Budapest PCB layout team in the EMC Core Team. Served as a Zuken CR-8000 key user and trained the local team during the introduction of the CAD environment.
