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.

- 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.
Summary
R&D Electronics Engineer with a Master’s degree (Grade 1.9) specializing in full-cycle systems integration, testing, and firmware development for high-precision laser systems.
