Hi, I'm Xiaotian Lu, a hardware/electronics engineer based in Hamilton, New Zealand. I have 5+ years of hands-on experience delivering PCB and schematic designs for consumer and industrial electronics, with strengths in power management, high-speed interfaces, EMC/EMI optimization, and production-readiness. I enjoy turning concepts into prototype hardware and collaborating across hardware, software, and mechanical teams to deliver reliable solutions. I thrive in remote and contract environments, taking hardware designs from concept through prototype to production validation. I’m passionate about solving reliability challenges, improving EMI/ESD performance, and documenting clear, production-ready outputs for manufacturing teams.
