Project: - Gateway Device

Role: - Hardware design, Development and testing

Description:

TAs IoT devices work with low power consumption(Battery power) in other words they are energy constrained so if

they will directly communicate to cloud/internet it won’t be eff ective in terms of power. So they communicate with

Gateway first using short range wireless transmission modes/network like ZigBee, Bluetooth, etc as they consume

less power or they can also be connected using long range like Cellular and WiFi etc.

Responsibility:

• Study & schematic design of cards, components selection and their simulation

• Managed project timelines effectively by setting realistic goals and maintaining consistent communication with stakeholders, ensuring on-time delivery of high-quality products.
• Implemented quality control measures throughout the design process, resulting in a decrease in production errors and increased customer satisfaction.
• Used oscilloscopes, debuggers, spectrum analyzers and other tools to discern and correct faulty circuits and components.
• Spearheaded the development of a new embedded hardware platform, which became a flagship product for the company.
• Used simulation software to test and correct deficits in proposed circuits and components without wasting physical assets.
• Created circuitry and devices within specific compliance and compatibility frameworks for integration into existing systems.
• Collaborated with software engineers to create seamless integration between hardware and firmware components, resulting in improved system efficiency.
• Collaborated with sales teams to provide technical support during customer meetings and product demonstrations, increasing client confidence in our solutions.
• Enhanced embedded hardware performance by designing and developing efficient circuit boards for various applications.
• Developed and implemented test procedures for embedded systems, providing valuable data to drive design improvements and ensure product reliability.
• Integrated product development lifecycle considerations into designing embedded circuity and devices.
• Optimized system reliability through thorough testing and validation processes, ensuring high-quality products for customers.
• Designed prototypes for new products, allowing for rapid iteration based on feedback from stakeholders.
• Reduced power consumption of electronic devices by implementing power management techniques in the design of embedded systems.
• Conducted failure analyses on embedded hardware systems to identify root causes and develop appropriate corrective actions, preventing future issues.
• Performed PCB circuit design, optimizing proposed boards for situational requirements such as weight, space restrictions and location of external inputs.
• Improved production processes by providing expert input on manufacturing techniques and materials.
• Ensured compliance with relevant industry standards through diligent review of regulatory guidelines and adherence to best practices.
• Increased product functionality by integrating additional features such as wireless communication capabilities when appropriate.
• Reduced time-to-market for new products by identifying opportunities for process improvements throughout the design cycle.
• Established strong relationships with suppliers/vendors to negotiate better deals on components and foster long-lasting partnerships.
• Implemented cost-saving measures in component sourcing without compromising quality or performance requirements.

Project: - Multi Section Digital Axle Counter (MSDAC)

Role: -

Senior Embedded hardware design engineer

Description:

Project is a signaling equipment project that involves the design, installation, and commissioning of a digital axle

counter (DAC) solution.

MSDAC projects detect track vacancies for multiple lines in a station or yard. They can be installed in stations or

yards and monitor all track sections, including main lines, platform lines, and sidings.

MSDAC projects can improve the efficiency of auto signals, reduce the failure rate, and reduce the detention of

trains at signals. They can also make it easier to monitor auto signaling.

Responsibility:

• Study & design schematic of electronic cards, components selection and their simulation

in PCB design.

• Design, test and Debug individual card like 24V to 120V DC to Dc converter,SDC,MCC,Relay card,FOC,Event logger,VR8,Modem8,Voting module,CPU,surge protection,Power Data Coupling Unit(PDCU).

• Altera quartus II, FPGA Logic design with Analog and Digital & Mixed signals.

• VHDL programming experience with Ring Counter & Flip flop and logic gates design.

• Hardware interfacing - RS485, RS232, I2C, SPI/UART, USB, Modbus/CAN, Ethernet,

OFC etc.

• Functional Safety test likes Surge,EFT,ESD & Isolation.
