About
Full-stack hardware designer with 9+ years hands-on, working on both sides of the product: mechanics and electronics.
CAD and mechanical design:
- Parametric 3D modeling of enclosures, brackets and functional parts in Fusion 360 and Inventor
- Design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA): tolerances, fits, snap-fits, bosses, ribs and fasteners
- Technical drawings and STEP/STL/DXF deliverables ready for injection molding, CNC or 3D printing
- Reverse engineering and redesign of existing parts
Electronics integration (ECAD/MCAD co-design):
- PCB design in KiCad and Altium, multilayer and high-density (QFN/BGA)
- Enclosures designed around the real board: connectors, displays, buttons, heat and cable routing
I also worked as Tech Lead of a 5-person R&D team, taking field equipment from concept to production (NPI). I work by message, reply fast and deliver organized, documented files.
