Martin G.

Versatile engineer focused on electronics and product design, with strong emphasis on high-complexity printed circuit board designs and a focus on design for manufacturability. With more than 20 years of experience I design, build, program, and test prototypes with in-house tools. I have served a wide variety of industries and have developed initial concepts and prototype devices as well as producing products that go into full scale production manufacturing. I work with clients and testing services to bring their product through regulatory and safety compliance testing and certification. Extensive design experience on KiCAD and Altium Designer, including detailed layout incorporating 3D CAD models and housings created with SolidEdge. Whether developing a brand new idea at early concept stages, developing or refining prototypes to validate the product, or taking the product into manufacturing and production, I enjoy providing you with solutions that are suitably for your needs. I am a graduate of the Budapest University of Technology (BME), with a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Applied Sciences. I am located in Tirol Austria. I am a German Citizen and am available for travel EU wide and internationally. Key offerings: • System analysis and design, including key technical and market considerations for success • Electronics design and printed circuit board (PCB) layout (Altium and KiCAD) • Mechanical CAD work to supplement the electronics, including sheet metal work (SolidEdge) • Develop bare-metal firmware and embedded-OS software • Assemble, build and test prototypes • Process regulatory and safety testing and certification • Manage product manufacturing and logistics • Perform design reviews to identify problems and recommend improvements • Troubleshoot and fix failed devices, including repair of circuit boards I can use many formats of customer-supplied data from other electronics design software, and mechanical data from SolidEdge and other standard CAD data formats. I have developed a wide variety of circuit boards, including: • Standard 2- and 4-layer boards with surface mount and through-hole components • Custom spec boards (e.g. high layer counts, blind/buried vias, HDI) • High-speed / high-density boards with length-matching and tuning, controlled impedance • Circuit boards with complex mechanical dimensional requirements • Flex, rigid-flex, and semi-flex board assemblies with features on multiple work planes • Products incorporating Bluetooth, BLE, WiFi, and serial interfaces (SPI, I2C, LIN, RS-232, RS-485) and especially CAN bus I design, assemble and test prototype electronics with in-house equipment. For volume production, I can arrange turn-key manufacturing for you. Partial list of equipment: • SMD assembly and rework prototyping tools • CNC PCB milling system • SMD Pick-and-place for short-run PCB assembly (over 3,000 CPH) • 3-axis CNC mill for enclosure / custom metal fabrication • Multiple 3D Printers. Print volumes up to 14" x 14" x 12.6" (355 x 355 x 320 mm) • 4-Channel 500 MHz digital storage oscilloscope, • 34-channel 500 MSPS logic capture/analyzer • Thermal imaging camera • Metrology grade 3D scanner Please feel free to challenge me with your tough projects!
