Own hardware design and validation of a 6 kW solar hybrid inverter platform for the Japanese market, delivering product-grade performance and compliance. Define converter-level architecture including DC–DC battery converter stages and grid interfacing AC power stage (AC–DC / DC–AC) objectives. Execute schematic design, calculations, and component selection for power and control electronics (analog/digital), ensuring design margin and robustness. Drive PCB development from schematic capture through placement and routing, focusing on high-current paths, noise-sensitive control regions, creepage/clearance, and manufacturability. Implement embedded interfaces including UART and CAN for supervisory control and diagnostics; support high-speed Ethernet interface constraints and SDIO-based WiFi module integration. Lead EMC/EMI engineering including filter design, layout optimization, grounding strategy, shielding concepts, and suppression components (snubbers, CM chokes, ferrites). Lead

Senior Scientific Officer at Government of Pakistan

December 1, 2017 - April 1, 2023

Designed and developed end-to-end industrial power converter platforms including 100 kVA grid-connected rectifier systems for online UPS applications. Developed isolated gate-driver boards with desaturation protection logic, fault handling, and safe shutdown behavior. Implemented CAN-based communication between power converters and a centralized control computer for system monitoring and coordination. Designed and validated 60 kW induction heating power converter hardware, including current-source inverter topology and resonant LC tank tuning. Performed high-current laboratory testing (efficiency, thermal profiling, switching waveform verification) and fault-condition investigations; analyzed converter behavior under short-circuit and abnormal operating scenarios with hardware and control-level mitigations. Managed component selection, reliability-focused derating, and BOM optimization aligned with availability and industrial constraints.
