Khaled W.
Hardware Design Engineer | Embedded Systems & PCB Layout
I specialize in hardware design, embedded systems architecture, and professional PCB layout. My primary focus is translating system requirements into reliable, manufacturable, and industrial-grade hardware. While my core day-to-day work involves embedded hardware and robust PCB design, I also have a solid background in high-speed digital design principles. I approach every board with strict attention to Signal and Power Integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM). Core Capabilities: Embedded Hardware Design: Designing solid hardware architectures around microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, AVR), including power regulation systems, communication interfaces, and sensor integration. PCB Layout & DFM: Expertise in designing multi-layer boards using Altium Designer. I design strictly for the factory floor, adhering to IPC-2221/IPC-7351 standards to ensure your design is fabricated and assembled without technical hold-ups at houses like JLC or PCBWay. High-Speed & Mixed-Signal: Capable of handling complex constraints when a project demands it, including impedance matching, length tuning, and differential pair routing for FPGAs and memory interfaces (DDR). Power & Analog Electronics: Experience with switching regulators (SMPS), high-current drivers, and low-noise analog front-ends. Technical Toolkit: EDA / PCB Design: Altium Designer (Advanced constraints, xSignals, 3D modeling). Simulation & Analysis: LTspice, Proteus (Transient, AC/DC analysis). Standards: DFM, DFA, EMI/EMC best practices. What You Receive: Clean, hierarchical, and readable Schematics. Optimized PCB Layouts tailored for thermal dissipation and signal integrity. Complete Manufacturing Pack (Gerbers, NC Drill, Centroid/Pick & Place, and BOM). 3D STEP files for seamless mechanical and enclosure integration. If you are looking for a practical, detail-oriented hardware engineer who speaks the language of datasheets and delivers ready-to-manufacture designs, let's discuss your project.
