About

I have a wide expertise in hardware and embedded software development. Within hardware development, I see two areas where I can step in and play a crucial role for the project. PCB development with key competence in: • Analog design (measuring system, various sensors, battery chargers, audio circuits and SMPS) • FPGA and MCU design and verification • Design of power systems consisting of IGBT, (SiC) MOSFETs, gate driver, control, measuring system • EMC correct design and PCB layout • Quick to understand a new design and its problems HW cabinet design for complex systems: • Design of converter systems consisting of IGBT, SiC MOSFETs, gate driver and control • Implement measurement systems and interfaces for different sensor types • Implementation of test systems for power electronics for the wind turbine industry • EMC correct design in harsh environments • Extremely good overview of large complex systems I have the ability to oversee a large complex system, divide it into smaller modules and describe their requirements and dependencies. In addition, I work both individually and as a team player and am really good at adapting to new environments and technical areas. I have worked with electronic design, service and maintenance for 25 years and have a background as an electronic engineer. Furthermore I have supplied this with a higher education (B.Sc.E.E.) in 1997. For several years I have worked as a consultant and this has given me an in-depth knowledge and a broad experience in developing electronic designs.

    Key player in the design of a 250 kW three-phase inverter system, with medium voltage input and 400V three-phase output. The task included: System design, Schematic & PCB layout in Altium for the entire system. The two PCB design with: MAX10 FPGA, gate driver interface, 1500V measurement system, Fiber interface, internal power supply, SPI bus, interfaces for thermocouple and PT100 measurement. Otherwise, I have worked with following: • Design of control platform with TMS320 Texas Instruments Embedded - DSP and optimizing of gate driver interface for a three-phase inverter for 7.5kW motor • Design of controller for inverter system with various interfaces such as: ETH, CAN, RS232, Fiber, I/O interfaces. Based on a MityDSP-L138 ARM9 system with embedded Linux • PCB Interface board with analog high precision level triggers for High DC-Link detection
