About me
electronics engineer specializing in flexible and rigid-flex printed circuit board architectures. My daily work revolves around routing high-density hardware for wearables, medical devices, and compact 3D enclosures, prioritizing DFM constraints for flawless factory fabrication. Core focus areas: • rigid-flex PCB layout • FPC design • schematic capture • impedance control • EMI optimization • component sourcing. I draft and validate these systems using Altium Designer, KiCad, Onshape. Reach out to discuss your exact footprint limits and hardware requirements before ordering.... Read more

PCB & Hardware Design Engineer

LinkedIn • Full-time

Aug 2021 - Present • 5 yrs

Description (Job history and achievements): Designed and validated complex rigid-flex PCBs, FPCs, and multilayer hardware for wearable devices, medical electronics, and compact IoT systems. Key Responsibilities & Achievements: • Executed multi-layer PCB layout and flexible circuit routing using Altium Designer and KiCad. • Conducted signal integrity, power integrity, and controlled impedance calculations for high-density interconnect (HDI) designs. • Implemented DFM rules for flex circuit bend radii, stiffeners (FR4, Polyimide, Stainless Steel), and coverlay openings. • Prepared complete fabrication packages including Gerber RS-274X/X2, NC Drill, Pick & Place (CPL), and BOM files. • Collaborated with mechanical engineers via 3D STEP modeling to ensure zero enclosure collision.
