Harishkumaar

Hardware Design Engineer — PCB layout, embedded systems, sensors, and power electronics.

I work at the intersection of hardware engineering and product development, designing and building complex electronic systems that move from concept to production. My experience spans system architecture, schematic and PCB design, prototyping, and validation—always with manufacturability and real-world constraints in mind.

I’m driven by curiosity—about technology, manufacturing, supply chains, and the engineering decisions that shape scalable products.
