Bram D.
Electrical Engineer
Electrical Engineer | PCB Design | Embedded Systems | Prototyping Expert I'm an electrical engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience in hardware design and product development. I’ve worked in both small startups and large-scale engineering organizations, so I understand how to balance speed, flexibility, and quality depending on the project scope. Core Competencies: PCB Design & Schematic Capture: Professional designs optimized for performance, DFM/DFT, and reliability. PCBA Manufacturing: Experience with both rapid prototyping and scaling to high-volume production. Embedded Systems: Skilled in microcontroller-based designs using STM32, Arduino, RP2040, PIC, and ATTiny. Strong understanding of communication protocols including I2C, SPI, and UART. Analog Hardware: Proficient in designing DC/DC converters, battery chargers, Battery Management Systems (BMS), and audio amplifiers. Motor Control: Expertise in BLDC motor controller design and implementation. Displays: Integration of E-ink displays and related display technologies. RF Systems: Experience with embedded RF modules and wireless communication. Test Fixtures: I design and produce custom test fixtures to mass test PCBAs efficiently and reliably. Prototyping & Small-Batch Manufacturing: Beyond the circuit board, I bring products to life. I’ve built a fully equipped home lab for electrical testing and board bring-up, and I’m experienced in 3D modeling with OnShape. I’ve also built a custom injection molding machine and can produce small-batch plastic parts in-house. With 3D printers at my disposal, I support rapid mechanical prototyping from concept to enclosure. If you're looking for someone who can own the hardware side of your project from napkin sketch to working prototype (and beyond), let’s talk!
