PARTHIBAN DURAIRAJ

Designed and structured a complex system into a scalable architecture, integrating advanced interfaces to enable sustainable and reliable operation. Implemented robust design strategies to ensure the system could withstand heavy power surges, high radio emissions, and short circuits. During the design phase, strategically placed key components to mitigate potential failures, resulting in a circuit board that performs reliably even under high noise levels and challenging environmental conditions

Led the design and implementation of the complete hardware architecture for four distinct robot models, collaborating closely with a small team. These models incorporated numerous motors and sensors, requiring the development of robust, high-density PCB layouts integrated with real-time OS-based firmware to ensure precise control and reliability. Managed the entire process from initial design through to mass production, including component sourcing and supply chain management. Provided dedicated support during production to address any supply chain disruptions, ensuring seamless manufacturing continuity. Maintained the design legacy over several years to support ongoing deployment and upgrades.

The robots were deployed across many countries, with internal systems engineered to operate reliably in extreme cold and hot regions, demonstrating the robustness and adaptability of the hardware design.

Designed and implemented a shape-changing robot platform for advanced research applications. Played a key role in developing the PCB layout and electrical architecture, ensuring precise control and reliability of the system. Contributed to both hardware design and system integration, enabling the platform to achieve its dynamic shape-shifting capabilities

Served as a Field Engineer supporting Field Emission Transmission Electron Microscopes (FE-TEM). Troubleshot and rectified electronics-related issues to ensure optimal performance. Conducted startup and shutdown procedures meticulously to maintain the equipment’s reliability and high operational standards.

Developed numerous prototype designs for educational demonstrations and proof-of-concept projects across various industrial sectors. These experiences provided valuable opportunities to deepen and enhance my foundational knowledge in embedded systems and power electronics, facilitating continuous learning and skill development.
