Pleora Technologies

• Canada
• Appliances, Electrical, and Electronics Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Sr. Electronics Developer

  • Jan 2008 - Sep 2021

  • System-level and Board-level hardware design including mixed analog/digital designs. Design specifications. PCB Layout support. About 50 boards were designed, about 60% of them came to production as is, from revision 1, rest 40% required minor revision update for production phase. • First 8 years worked as the only Hardware Engineer, so was responsible for everything HW related. • Plus support ~50 IP offering customers (in schematic and layout designs) in developing customized products, not interested for Pleora be implemented as regular product. • EMI/EMC engineering and certification tests; support 100+ customers in integration of Pleora’s products into their systems to pass EMI/EMC tests. • Technical documentation, support hundreds customers with technical questions. • Close work with FPGA and software developers, with FAEs, QA, production, and marketing. • Debug, design verifications, integration tests, quality control, support in RMA, PCN and EOL. • Developed ALL hardware products (board-level parts) listened on https://www.pleora.com/products/ (at September 2021) plus bunch of not listened there customized products for big customers.

NTU

• Taiwan

• Postdoc/visiting specialist (Lead Engineer)

  • 2001 - 2007

  • First year worked as a Postdoc, did FPGA and hardware designs for scientific applications. • Last 5 years served as a contract Visiting Specialist (Lead Engineer) leading a group from 2-3 electronic technicians, 2- 3 programmers, and 0-2 (except me) electronics engineers. • Was responsible for design, verification, debug, production, quality control etc. of electronics, produced for multi-billion scientific projects in Japan and Europe, and for small one-million project in Taiwan. Largest project: electronics for CMS detector on LHC (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland): developed the part costed ~$20 million, that has been successfully operating 24/7 within 10 years. • System-level and Board-level hardware design. Design specifications. PCB Layout support. • Debug of electronic modules and systems, integration tests, calibration, and quality control. • FPGAs and CPLDs design and verification.
