FREELANCE ELECTRONIC HARDWARE ENGINEER

Get in touch

Activities

Electronic design

Power, lightning and EMC protections, analog, digital, reverse engineering, connectors, mostly in avionics and mechatronics.

Board routing

I use Altium Designer to route traditional, rigid-flex, insulated metal substrate (IMS) and high density boards.

Manufacturing

Surface mount and through hole components soldering. Alternative parts search for production. Management of mass production.

Laboratory

Testing of prototypes, repairing of devices, measurements and thermal analysis.

Documentation

Product specifications, DO160, reliability prediction, reports.

Programming

Spice, Matlab, C (STM32 firwmare). Also HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, LAMP server.

Project management

Management of engineering teams. Customer and suppliers relations.

Teaching

Available for beginners, intermediate and advanced levels.

Development of electronic circuit boards

Moved since childhood by a strong interest in technology, particularly electronics, after the master degree in electronic engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin, I transformed my passion into work at companies in Italy, France and Spain.

I'm specialized in fully developing products with a high content in electronics, both independently and as a team leader.

I take care of requirements specifications, documentation, schematic design, product integration, printed circuit board routing, lab testing, mass production, teaching.

Design examples

Avionic 250W DC-DC Converter

This tiny 70mm x 50mm non isolated buck converter provides a 14V, 15A output from a 18V to 34V input, over an extended temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The upper side control board, based on Linear Technology LTC3807, drives the lower side power board, which has an aluminium substrate and therefore can be directly mounted on a heatsink, providing an excellent dissipation.

Audio signal processing board

Based on the Analog Devices ADAU1701 DSP controller, this 50mm x 100mm audio processing board has a stereo audio line input, a balanced mic input with pre-gain, and a stereo line output. The DSP can be controlled directly through pushbuttons, leds and a potentiometer, or remotely through an I2C interface.

IoT garden irrigation control

Designed to be battery powered and remotely installed in a garden, this IoT board has four 12V 2A power outputs to control solenoid valves for garden watering. An Espressif ESP microcontroller drives the power electronics and allows for remote control of the board through wi-fi connection.

Industrial automation reverse engineering

This board, installed on textile factory automated looms, is no longer available as a spare parts on the market. Starting from the old physical board without any documentation or schematic a new board was routed and manufactured, replacing the old one and avoiding thus production stops.
