Technical Consulting

I design high density, high power, electronic systems with modern CAD tools. Multilayer PCBs with several hundred components.

I can design mixed signal boards with analog, digital and power electronics.

I develop products from the initial market research specification all the way to compliance and certification.

I work with electromechanical systems of various sizes and complexities. From CNCs, gantry robots, robot arms, to multi-axis mills and machine vision systems.

I can lead or assist in the design, troubleshooting, and bring up of automated systems from the lab to the factory floor.

I am experienced in designing embedded software solutions for microcontrollers, PLCs, FPGA, CPLDs and more.

Be it a prototype or a launched product, interrupt driven or RTOS. I have worked with systems on various architectures and topologies. I can debug system hardware and software in a timely manner.

If its a simple low-volume product or a high volume commercial project I can bring your idea to life. Everything from control systems to power electronics and more.

If you can articulate your idea in words, i can translate that into a real world product that you can bring to market. Everything from initial design all the way to launch.

Need help managing tens of thousands of components? Need a reliable list of alternative parts and suppliers? Having trouble choosing components?

I have experience in bootstrapping CAD libraries from scratch. Schematic symbols, parametrics, step file models, and more. I manage Altium Designer, Solidworks, and other common CAD libraries with collaboration in mind.

Worried that your design margins are too close for comfort? Having trouble determining heat dissipation, system response and expected behaviour?

I can help setup SPICE libraries, models, and simulations to give you peace of mind that your design is sound on paper and in simulation. Everything from switch mode power supplies, impedance networks, operational amplifiers, feedback systems and isolated systems.

Designing something mission critical? Having trouble with intermittent failure on a product? Issues with production and assembly?

I have designed products that utilize both SMT and TH wave soldering. Avoiding warping, tombstoning, cold joints and other common design issues is critical for ensuring that a faulty board never makes out of your facility.

You can never put a price on your reputation.

Are you a student or learner looking to break into the field of electronics design? Are you looking to make a career change? Or are you looking for advice on how to start a project?

I can mentor you with all of these and more. I have experience as an instructor in youth robotics classes, as well as peer mentorship.

I'm always happy to help anyone willing to ask for it.
