Engineering Experience That Moves Products Forward
I provide senior-level electronics engineering for product development, design challenges, and difficult hardware problems—from PCB design and embedded systems to EMI/EMC, analog, digital, and hardware troubleshooting—without the cost of adding a full-time engineer.
- Electronics design and product development for industrial, medical, instrumentation and consumer applications
- Embedded hardware and firmware using modern microcontroller platforms
- Hardware troubleshooting, EMI/EMC, testing, and design for manufacturing
How I Support Your Electronics Development
- Hardware troubleshooting and design reviews
- Analog, digital, mixed signal and MCU circuit design
- EMI, RFI, and ESD design, troubleshooting and mitigation
- High‑reliability design with proper component derating
- Thermal stability and power‑integrity considerations
- Schematic creation and PCB design
- Prototype development, testing, and performance evaluation
- Custom test and evaluation procedures and fixtures
- Supplier investigation and component sourcing
Focused on practical outcomes
You get an engineer who designs for reliability, noise immunity, and manufacturability.
Electronics Design
Schematic capture and PCB design with an emphasis on signal integrity, power robustness, and cost-conscious component choices that survive supply-chain turbulence.
Embedded Systems
Firmware and hardware integration for microcontrollers including ESP32 and ARM-based platforms, with board bring-up, peripheral drivers, communications, and application-level logic.
System-Level Thinking
Looking beyond the circuit board: enclosures, thermal management, power, communications, manufacturability, test strategy, serviceability and how the complete product will actually be built and used.
Experience That Goes Beyond the Schematic
With decades of hands-on electronics engineering experience, I bring practical knowledge of analog and digital design, embedded systems, industrial controls, EMI/EMC, low-power electronics, and hardware troubleshooting. I've worked on products ranging from industrial automation and instrumentation to medical and wireless devices.
The goal isn't simply to design a circuit—it's to make the complete product work reliably in the real world.
