Experience

  1. Senior Designer (R&D)

    Tajhizat Pishrafteh Darman (KSTP)

    Jan 2019 to Jan 2020

    • Architected and implemented the FPGA-based control system for an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), a life-critical medical device requiring strict deterministic timing. • Developed high-reliability FPGA firmware (VHDL) for ECG signal processing, filtering, and data acquisition. • Managed the end-to-end development cycle, including debugging, test procedure validation, and hardware-software integration.

  2. Assistant Professor

    Khayyam University of Mashhad

    Jan 2018 to Present

    • Supervisor of the CanSat Team; mentoring students in embedded system prototyping and space-grade engineering. • Taught courses in FPGA/ASIC, Digital System Design, Electronic Theory, Microprocessor, VHDL (14 semesters). • Developed a complete ECG recording device with custom PC software for real-time signal display and digital analysis for Instrument Lab.

  3. R&D Engineer

    Peyman Khotut Shargh (KSTP)

    Jan 2017 to Jan 2022

    • Designed and implemented an ESP32-based SNTP synchronization card for accurate time distribution in embedded and industrial systems. • Led the integration and optimization of ABB Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) using CPLDs, FPGAs, and ARM microcontrollers. • Engineered robust signal conditioning circuits for Analog Input (AI) and Analog Output (AO) cards, significantly reducing noise and improving system reliability in industrial environments. • Developed embedded solutions for industrial telecontrol, interfacing hardware with Raspberry Pi-based controllers.

  4. Lecturer

    Imam Reza & Sadjad Universities

    Jan 2011 to Jan 2018

    • Delivered curriculum-based instruction in RFIC, Communication Circuits, and Digital Design, emphasizing practical hardware implementation over theory.
