Harware Engineer Team Manager @Marelli

Main activities\\\\n\\\\n• Electrical hardware leader for the automotive black box and tolling function.\\\\n\\\\n• Electrical architecture design taking into account: customer requirements, micro controller peripherals, firmware functionality, power, and backup battery.\\\\n\\\\n• Electrical schematic simulation (SPICE) and implementation (Cadence).\\\\n\\\\n• Follow the layout implementation side by side with PCB designer.\\\\n\\\\n• Factory database (ePIM) fill up with the components require to build the device.\\\\n\\\\n• Coordination of the activities for prototypes characterization and certification.\\\\n\\\\nSubject covered and trainings\\\\n\\\\n• Electronic devices used in automotive: displays, micro-controller (Freescale, ST, Renesas, NXP), memories (FRAM, PSRAM, Flash ROM NAND and NOR), B and C CAN bus, K-line, RS-232, button and knobs status acquisition, LVDS signal transmission, audio CODEC, DAC, power management (buck, boost, LDO), GSM/UMTS/LTE modules, GPS modules, GPS chip-set.\\\\n\\\\n• Ni-Mh and Li-ion battery. I developed hardware and software for charging, discharging, and gauge batteries. I implemented a measurement system with source and sink suppliers, thermal chamber, current and volt meter controlled by my Python application to perform battery accelerated life test.\\\\n\\\\n• High Speed design for signal integrity. Design practices to reduce electromagnetic interferences.\\\\n\\\\n• Tools, protocols, interfaces and certifications required in the automotive field.\\\\n\\\\n• CAD Cadence, Simulator SPICE.\\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n
