Hands-on electronics design support,
from schematic to EMC-ready production.
I’m Mariusz Kawa, an EU-based Senior Electronics Design Engineer with 25+ years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware, PCB design, bring-up, validation, and EMC-aware delivery. I integrate quickly with engineering teams and support critical hardware phases where experience and hands-on execution matter.
Services (Outcome-oriented)
Clear deliverables, fast ramp-up, pragmatic documentation.
Hardware Design & Architecture
Make robust design choices early to prevent costly redesigns.
- Schematic + PCB design review or full delivery
- Power tree, protection, mixed-signal partitioning
- Design for manufacturability (DFM) mindset
Bring-up & Debug (De-risk milestones)
Unblock teams when prototypes don’t behave as expected.
- Board bring-up plans, test points, debug strategy
- Root cause analysis (power, clocks, buses, noise)
- Collaboration with firmware / system integration
Validation & EMC Preparation
Reduce surprises at the test house and improve first-pass success.
- EMC-aware layout guidance (return paths, filtering)
- Pre-compliance checks and test readiness support
- Documentation for certification workflows
Specialties
Keywords recruiters search for (DE/NL-friendly).
Technical Focus
- PCB Design: Altium Designer, OrCAD
- Power management, motor control, mixed-signal
- RF / IoT module integration
- Signal integrity / power integrity awareness
- Hardware validation, troubleshooting, test strategy
Personal Lab Capability
I maintain a fully equipped personal electronics lab to prototype and verify efficiently.
- Rapid prototyping & debug support
- Efficient verification workflows
- Small internal test tools (Python, C#)
