Seeking a full-time position in the field of electrical engineering with an emphasis on hardware

OBJECTIVE

engineering, medical device development and image processing.

Electrical Engineer, Piramal Critical Care

WORK

Orchard Park, NY (February 2013 - Present)

EXPERIENCE

This role is a part of the Drug Delivery Group, which is responsible for the research, development and

support of Piramal medical devices.

Key contributor towards the design, development, testing and validation for all phases (prototype

to final production) of a drug delivery system for anesthetic drugs.

Optimized system design parameters such as cost, reliability and power efficiency leading to

improved overall system performance.

Tested and validated performance of electronic sensors and patient monitoring subsystems, such as

Pulse Oximetry, ECG, and NIBP, in the integrated unit.

Validated hardware design specifications for prototypes through testing, and analyzing circuit

schematics, PCB’s and firmware code running on Xilinx FPGA. Debugged hardware and firmware

defects to solve potential issues.

Improved and validated subsystem performance through analysis, simulation, and lab testing by

utilizing tools and equipment such as MATLAB, oscilloscopes and other lab equipment.

Collaboratively researched and developed, as the lead electrical engineer, the electronics for

device alpha prototype for a secondary drug delivery project.

Provided support for site quality and regulatory compliance of Piramal devices with FDA, MDD,

ISO, and other government and anesthesia regulatory standards. Prepared and updated

documentation for compliance.

Contributed in identifying cost reductions (~5-7%) and overall budget management of the project.

Collaborated with engineers, external consultants and contract manufacturers for product

development and scale-up.

Acquired professional training certifications in ISO 14971:2012-Risk Management, and FDA QSR

Design Control for medical devices.

(December 2011 – December 2012)

San Jose, CA

This role is a part of prototype services group, which is responsible for the support, characterizing and

testing (bring-up) of hardware and software for newly manufactured ASR-9000 aggregation platform

routers.

Contributed in the bring up of Route Processors, Fabric Cards, high-capacity Ethernet Line cards

with a range of 10 to 100 Gigabits per second.

Displayed strong analytical skills and expertise in performing component level debugging and

repairs for multi layered PCB’s.

Ran hardware and software diagnostic tools in Linux for screening out manufacturing faults, and

localizing failures to aid in debug.

Performed firmware image upgrades for board components such as CPLDs, and FPGAs.

Developed scripts for automated long term regression testing.

Collaborated with cross-functional teams of hardware and software engineers to help debug and

troubleshoot initial prototype products.

Responsible for tracking and allocating prototype inventory among different teams.

Documented bring-up and rework procedures along with providing periodic status reports to

managers and engineers.
