It started with a small satellite’s power board. At STUDSAT-2, India’s twin nano-satellite mission, I helped lead the Electrical Power Subsystem and designed my first PCB from scratch, entirely self-taught. That same drive carried me through a Master’s at National Tsing Hua University and into Taiwan’s hardware industry. Since then I’ve been turning raw ideas into working hardware, including a Lidar Motherboard I helped carry through bring-up, testing, and several rework cycles.

That bring-up-and-rework grind taught me how much of a board’s behavior lives in physics the schematic never shows. So now that same drive is aimed at mastering Signal and Power Integrity — the discipline that decides whether a high-speed board actually works, or just looks like it should.

Every board eventually answers to physics. I believe each design decision — stackup, trace geometry, decoupling — should trace back to that physics, not guesswork. That’s the principle behind PCB Yantra Labs, where I teach what I find: real boards, real debugging, real physics.

My goal on every project is to catch problems on the bench and in simulation before they ever reach fabrication, cutting the costly re-spin cycles that come from missing them. I’ve lived through exactly that cost myself, so I know why the standard matters — and I’m building toward it deliberately, through hands-on board work, structured self-study, and sharing every lesson I learn.

I started PCB Yantra Labs on a simple bet: the fastest way to master something is to explain it to someone else. Every board I study, every mistake I catch, every concept I finally crack goes straight to the channel — taught in Hindi, for engineers starting exactly where I started. From the very first video.

The road ahead: taking this from sensor and embedded boards toward LPDDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, and MIPI on dense HDI and mixed-signal designs, with AI accelerator and edge-compute hardware in sight — where Signal and Power Integrity decide whether a system performs at all. If you’re on the same path, come along.
Core Technical Domains
“My core technical work spans PCB layout and hardware validation, with growing depth in signal integrity, high-speed interfaces, and EMI/EMC — built through hands-on board design and structured, physics-first self-study. Here’s where each stands today.”

Work Experience

Nearly a decade of hands-on hardware experience — from satellite power systems to industry-grade motherboard design, now deepening into Signal & Power Integrity.
2026 – Present

Research Assistant

RF MicroSystems Lab, NTHU
  • Architecture: Designing piezoelectric (AlN) MEMS accelerometers and their mixed-signal PCB interface circuitry.
  • Impact: Engineering novel proof-mass geometries to optimize eigenfrequency, extending my Master’s thesis work toward a forthcoming publication.
+ Read Context

Returned to the RF MicroSystems Lab in 2026 to deepen this MEMS structural research, building on an earlier 2023 stint designing the interface circuit for a MEMS gyroscope and remote collaboration with the same lab through 2025.

2023 – 2025

Hardware R&D Design Engineer

Compertum Microsystems Inc.
  • Architecture: Second design engineer on a Lidar motherboard’s core carrier board, built around a Xilinx daughterboard.
  • Impact: Owned the Ethernet interface routing — a skill built on the job — and helped carry the board through bring-up and rework to reliable operation.
+ Read Context

Working under a lead engineer, with two junior engineers on the wider team, I handled roughly 60% of the PCB layout myself — including Ethernet routing I’d never done before this project — while the lead engineer took on the more complex remaining portion. Multiple rework and debugging cycles followed before the board reached stable operation.

2016 – 2018

Core Leader / Systems Engineer

Centre for Small Satellite Research (CSSR), NMIT
  • Architecture: Led the Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) for STUDSAT-2, India’s twin nano-satellite mission, designing its power generation and storage boards from scratch, self-taught.
  • Impact: Mentored 50+ undergraduate engineers across a seven-college consortium as core leader, coordinating final-year projects with ISRO scientists’ technical guidance.

This is where I first taught myself PCB design, driven by the exacting physics of orbital hardware — the same board is now featured on the Capabilities page.
