About Aditya Chilka

Every product starts as an \"impossible\" problem. I live for that moment.For the past decade, I\'ve been the person teams call when a hardware challenge seems unsolvable — when the sensor won\'t stabilize, the power budget doesn\'t close, or the prototype works on the bench but fails in the field. I don\'t just build products; I solve the problems that make products possible.As Founder & CPO at RapidCircuitry (formerly Onivart Design Studio), I lead R&D across hardware, firmware, and IoT — taking ideas from whiteboard sketches to production-ready products in 60 days. My work spans healthcare devices, industrial automation, and consumer electronics, always at the intersection of deep technical problem-solving and real-world manufacturability.What I bring to the table:→ R&D Leadership: Built and led cross-functional teams solving complex embedded systems challenges across 50+ product development cycles→ Full-Stack Hardware: Circuit design, PCB layout, firmware, RF systems, sensor integration — I\'ve debugged them all at 2 AM→ Idea-to-Production: ISO-aligned processes, DFM optimization, and NPI management that turns prototypes into shippable products→ Domain Expertise: MedTech (ISO 13485), Industrial IoT, Consumer Electronics — each with its own \"impossible\" constraints I\'ve learned to navigatePreviously, as CTO at Onivart Design Studio, I built the R&D engine and problem-solving frameworks that power everything RapidCircuitry does today — honing my craft of turning ambiguous technical challenges into structured, repeatable solutions.I write about the messy reality of hardware R&D — the debugging war stories, the frameworks I use to approach novel problems, and the lessons learned from a decade of making things that work in the real world.Open to: R&D consulting, technical advisory roles, speaking on hardware innovation, and connecting with fellow problem solvers who believe the best solutions come from understanding the problem deeply.Let\'s talk: a•••••@rapidcircuitry.com

Experience

1. Founder and Cpo

   RapidCircuitry

   Jun 2021 — Present · Hyderabad, IN

   Founded Rapid Circuitry to solve a recurring problem I saw across industries: brilliant product ideas dying in the gap between \"we should build this\" and \"we shipped it.\"As an R&D-first company, we take on the hardest part of hardware — turning unproven concepts into production-ready products. Our team tackles complex challenges across IoT, MedTech, and consumer electronics, handling everything from PCB design and embedded firmware to DFM optimization and production ramp.What sets us apart is speed-to-solution. Most hardware development cycles stretch 12-18 months. We\'ve built systems and processes that compress concept-to-production into 60-day cycles — without cutting corners on quality or compliance.Key R&D contributions:→ Built a full-stack hardware engineering practice from zero→ Developed rapid prototyping workflows that cut iteration cycles significantly→ Led cross-functional teams solving sensor integration, power optimization, and connectivity challenges→ Created DFM-first design processes that reduce production rework
