Experience

  • R&D Electronic Design at TRUMPF United Kingdom
    Jul 2024 - Jul 2025 · 1 yr 1 mo

    · Delivered electronics work across the full lifecycle: requirements interpretation → design calculations → SPICE verification → Altium schematic capture + 4-layer PCB layout → prototype build support → bring-up/test → debug/rework → documentation and handover. · Designed and validated a PWM MOSFET-based power converter for a capacitor-bank charging evaluation system (46–50 V input to 90 V output) supporting controlled laser diode operation; implemented current/voltage sensing and protection-aware design choices. · Implemented robust PCB design with attention to layout constraints (high-current paths, decoupling placement, noise-sensitive routing for sensing nodes, package/footprint constraints, and manufacturability). · Performed structured bring-up and board-level verification using waveform evidence; isolated faults, implemented board modifications/rework, and confirmed corrective actions with repeatable tests. · Produced and maintained technical documentation and test procedures to support design reviews, manufacturing collaboration, and knowledge transfer.
