Experience

Hardware & Embedded Engineer – I

Trakbond / IoT & Smart Wearables Manufacturer — Noida, India

JUN 2025 — PRESENT
01 / PCB ENGINEERING

Designed complex 4-layer high-density PCB architectures for consumer GPS trackers and smartwatches in Altium Designer, ensuring clean signal integrity within dense wearable form factors.

02 / VALIDATION & BRING-UP

Executed complete board bring-up on new product revisions using high-bandwidth oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to trace signal noise and eliminate routing bottlenecks.

03 / FIRMWARE

Developed low-level driver abstractions in Embedded C for Quectel MC60 (GPS/GSM) and BLE peripherals — reliable cellular-to-cloud data over UART, SPI and I2C.

04 / POWER OPTIMIZATION

Deep-dive power profiling with Nordic PPK2; engineered firmware-level sleep-state routines that minimized idle draw and informed LiPo cell hardware upgrades.

05 / SUPPLY CHAIN

Headed component sourcing, production-ready BOM formulation, and vendor-facing RFQ documentation to safeguard product timelines.
