Diogo V.

Hardware designer engineer

After years working on advanced telecom and embedded systems projects, I’m now fully dedicated to freelancing and open to transforming your next great idea into reality. Experience with very complex PCBs up to 26 layers, across RF, medical devices, analog systems, and power electronics, as well as simpler designs. This expertise comes from years working in top-tier companies and collaborating with high‑level engineering teams and now as a freelance engineer. ⚡Core capabilities: -Accountability and cost sensitivity for product production. -High density and very high speed designs. -RF system elaboration & simulation. -Power electronics. -Spice simulations with Qspice or LTspice -Layout PI/SI/RF simulation with Hyperlynx, ADS or Ansys. -EMC/ESD compliance since the very beginning of design. -Stackup planning for any type of TL structure and multiple impedances. -Firmware development. Through specialised long‑term partners, I also provide: -Mechanical enclosure design. -The most advanced RF EM simulations. -Some special components and customization. 🧠Count on me as a problem solver, not just someone who runs simulations and hands over a report. My motto is to deliver a complete resolved solution to the client by correlating simulations design and development with real measurements and testing on the bench. 🧭For full product development, you can consider me the lead engineer responsible for ensuring perfect coordination between electronics design, architecture, simulations, and mechanical development. Feel free to reach out and discuss your project with a free consultation, it could be at any time you want, I work 6 days a week.
