Electrical Engineering Expertise
From Concept to Circuit
Bridging the gap between theoretical design and functional hardware with expertise in modern EDA tools and simulation techniques.
Experienced in creating custom printed circuit boards for various applications, ensuring functionality and manufacturability.
PCB Design & Layout
Proficient in translating schematic diagrams into professional, manufacturable Printed Circuit Board layouts using industry-standard Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software.
- KiCAD: Extensive experience utilizing the open-source KiCAD suite for schematic capture, PCB layout, library management, and generating manufacturing files (Gerbers, BOM).
- Autodesk Eagle / Fusion 360 Electronics: Familiarity with the Eagle workflow, now integrated into Fusion 360, for schematic design and PCB layout tasks.
- Design Considerations: Knowledgeable in layout best practices, including component placement, routing strategies (signal integrity, power distribution), layer management, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
- Prototyping Focus: Capable of designing boards suitable for rapid prototyping as well as more complex, multi-layer designs.
Circuit Simulation & Analysis
Validating circuit designs and predicting performance before fabrication using powerful simulation tools.
- LTspice: Skilled in using LTspice for simulating analog and mixed-signal circuits, performing transient analysis, AC analysis, DC sweep, and noise analysis.
- Verification: Utilizing simulation to verify circuit functionality, optimize component values, and troubleshoot potential issues early in the design process.
Prototyping & Testing
Bringing designs to life through hands-on assembly and validation. Thorught my time in the TU Wien Racing team I gained experience in designing, manufacturing and troubleshooting PCBs. There is a certain joy when soldering the PCBs, it feels so productive.
- Board Assembly: Experience with through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) soldering techniques for assembling prototypes.
- Testing & Debugging: Utilizing standard lab equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to test circuit functionality and troubleshoot issues.
- Iterative Design: Comfortable with the iterative process of testing, refining designs, and creating improved hardware versions.
