Hi,

I'm André and i am an Electronics Engineer with 15 years of professional experience.

I started working as an Electronic Technician back in 2011 in an R&D project for a precision metalworking company called Micronorma. The project was called Magnetic Tube Joint and its goal was to built a machine that performed joining of tubular components by means of electromagnetic plastic deformation (without using mechanical force). I was responsible for the electric design and also helped with the mechanical drawings. I also worked for small customer oriented projects drawing and testing specific electronic boards. During this professional experience i had the opportunity to go abroad to get knowledge in high voltage pulsed systems.

My second challenge came the year after when i joined a startup company named Ynvisible with a new low cost/low power display technology (Electrochromic displays). My job as an Electronics Engineer was to create driving electronics to power and control the electrochromic displays. One big project i'm proud to be part of is Printoo. It is a modular hardware platform based on the Arduino board but in flexible substrate. Although it was a side project for the company, its importance grew when we managed to get crowdfunded and be advertised on Kickstarter.

From 2014 to 2019 i worked on Robosavvy/MOV.AI. The company aims to create robots that will ease our life and also implement crazy but useful ideas to improve the technology we have nowadays.
My role as an electronics engineer was to design, manufacture and program electronic boards for Autonomous Robots in industrial applications. I've also worked with several R&D projects related to monitorization of Energy Meters, RC Cars and CentOS based Servers.

For last, my recent experience has been in Synopsys for the past 7 years in the SerDes High Speed PHYs testing team.

_____________________________

I acquired experience in Hardware circuits design (both analog and digital), C, MATLAB, LabVIEW, assembly and python programming.

I have drawn PCBs for both rigid and flexible substrates using Altium Designer, Cadsoft Eagle and Cadence OrCAD.

I worked with several microcontroller series, among them: PIC, ATMEL, TI MSP, TI Tiva C Series microcontrollers and STM32. I've also developed code for Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

In Robosavvy i used ROS framework on top of Linux on the robots.
