Electronics Engineer

Dausinger + Giesen GmbH

  • Designs and develops new high-precision analog/digital PCBs for laser control systems using Eagle and KiCad.
  • Leads hardware testing, failure analysis, and systems integration for all PCBs within high-power laser systems.
  • Conducts component-level debugging on PCBs, tracing faults from power supply rails to communication lines (CAN, SPI) and sensor data (ADC/DAC).
  • Identifies burned/damaged components, performs SMD/THT rework and soldering to repair and validate boards.
  • Developed an advanced auto-alignment algorithm using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and PID control in Embedded C. This firmware uses a 4-Quadrant-Diode (4QD) PCB’s ADC signals to control piezo mirrors, automatically maximizing the laser’s power position.
  • Developed an Autonomous Laser Alignment System using a PIC18F26K83. Implemented a Bayesian Optimization algorithm to maximize optical power by controlling a 2-axis piezo inertia mirror mount.
  • Designed a "Virtual Encoder" in software to track position for an open-loop system.
  • Configured the Internal ADCC in Burst Average Mode to filter high-impedance photodiode noise.
  • Interfaced with a PI E-870.41 driver using a custom 20kHz multiplexed pulse train.
  • Developed a robust CAN Bootloader for the dual-core dsPIC33CH, enabling remote firmware updates. Solved deep-level bugs related to hardware timer conflicts, slave core fuse-bit mismatches, and CAN state management.
  • Installs and integrates validated PCBs into the final laser systems, verifying all CAN, power, and I/O cabling and debugging any system-level hardware/software conflicts.
  • Contributes to the development of the C++/Qt-based system control software, integrating CAN protocols to control and test all PCBs from a unified application.

Master Thesis

Ebm-papst Germany

  • Developed DSP algorithms (beamforming, inverse methods) in MATLAB and Python for sound source localization of rotating systems.
  • Analyzed and validated methods using tailored Green’s functions to identify system performance optimizations.

Technology and Applications Intern

Siemens Digital Industries Software

  • Developed and optimized DSP algorithms in Python (Acoular) for aeroacoustic testing and noise localization.
  • Designed and analyzed microphone arrays for beamforming applications using Simcenter 3D.

24GHz Radar System

  • Designed and built a 24GHz radar system prototype for movement and speed detection.
  • Designed a custom PCB with a Band Pass amplifier and programmed a FreeSoc board to process signals and trigger real-time alerts.

C++ Audio Player System

  • Developed a multithreaded audio player in C++, applying object-oriented principles and design patterns.
