Skills 1. 20+ years of experience in the design and development of cutting-edge IoT products, including AI/ML solutions. 2. Handling end to end product development, from concept to production. Worked on Turnkey Solutions. 3. Architecture design, requirement capturing, competition analysis, testing & product validation including regulatory compliance for US and EU. 4. Expertise in designing and deploying Industry 4.0, Video surveillance, Energy Meter, EV Charger, Water Filtration Systems and Internet of Things (IoT) based solutions. 5. MQTT, Wi-Fi, BLE, LPWAN, Zigbee, NBIoT, LoRA, I2C, SPI, QSPI, 6. Firmware, RTOS and Linux based Application Development 7. Python and C Programming. 8. RESTAPI, Kafka, Kubernetics and cloud based solutions. 9. Video Analytics using Yolo. 10. Query SQL, Postgresql, Cassandra databases. Product Development Life Cycle I followed 1. Define key requirements like Wireless range, Battery life, Sensor readings and reporting to server as major specs for the product. Check competition products and set a target BoM (Bill of Material) cost. 2. Select Hardware components like Microcontroller, BLE chip, battery, product dimension 3. Reviewe high level design with reference to the specs, did battery current/power dissipation calculations, controller sleep current review etc 4. Start firmware development using development kit, cloud part can be decided and implemented in parallel. 5. PCB layout and mechanical design 6. Prototype and product integration with mechanical and loaded firmware 7. Unit testing 8. Field testing and sensor accuracy testing (includes lab testing) 9. Firmware changes for mass production automated testing 10. Hardware modifications based on test results 11. Final testing and release to production
