Hardware engineer with 9+ years across space, marine robotics, energy, IoT and powertrain electronics. I design hardware from scratch or take over existing prototypes, and drive them through NPI to production - most recently a PV smart meter now preparing for mass production at 10,000 units per year. I’ve worked as a sole hardware engineer, as a systems engineer integrating electronics, software and mechanics, and as a technical lead coordinating firmware, mechanical, procurement and certification teams.
