Hamza K.
Electronics Hardware & PCB Design Engineer | Hardware and Firmware
I transform electronics concepts into high-performance, production-ready products. With 120+ international projects, I specialize in PCB design, embedded systems, and IoT hardware development. I have delivered solutions across diverse industries, designing, building, and testing prototypes in-house, as well as providing turnkey hardware that scales to mass production. My work includes developing advanced circuits, embedded firmware, and production-ready systems for international clients. Key Achievement: Designed critical electronic hardware for a NASA-funded research project, demonstrating high-reliability system expertise. I collaborate closely with clients and certification bodies to ensure products meet regulatory and safety compliance standards. Proficient in Altium Designer, I have extensive experience with high-speed, high-density layouts (HDI, impedance-controlled, flex-rigid) and bring hands-on skills in embedded firmware, troubleshooting, and prototype validation. Key offerings 1. PCB design and hardware development (Altium + KiCAD) 2. Embedded firmware (bare-metal and RTOS) 3. Prototype assembly, testing, and troubleshooting 4. Regulatory/safety compliance and certification support 5. Product manufacturing coordination and logistics 6. High-speed/density circuit board design (HDI, impedance control, length-matching) 7. Wireless-enabled products (Bluetooth, BLE, Wi-Fi, SPI, I²C, RS-232, RS-485) Partial list of in-house equipment 1. SMD assembly and rework prototyping tools 2. CNC PCB milling system 3. SMD pick-and-place machine (3,000+ CPH, short-run assembly) 4. 3-axis CNC mill for enclosure/custom fabrication 5. Multiple 3D printers (up to 355 × 355 × 320 mm build volume) 6. 4-channel 500 MHz digital storage oscilloscope 7. 16-channel 500 MSPS logic analyzer 8. Thermal imaging camera 9. Metrology-grade 3D scanner I welcome challenging projects where precision engineering and innovation meet.
