Rowan Aly

Specialization: Robotics Engineer
— I'm a fresh Electronics & Communication Engineering graduate with hands-on experience in embedded systems, PCB design, robotics, and mechanical systems. — Throughout my academic and project work, I've taken on everything from electrical schematics and firmware development to mechanical design and 3D modelingm especially in robotics and underwater systems. — I've led full project lifecycles, including mechanical design for an ROV and a robotic arm, and enjoy working at the intersection of hardware, software, and mechanics. — I'm currently interning as a Hardware Design Engineer at Brightskies and also freelance on advanced embedded systems.

Work experience

Embedded Systems Engineer
07.2024 - 11.2024 |Brightskies
Altium Designer, SQL, LTspice, SIMPLIS, I2C, CAN Bus, 4-layer PCB design
● Built and maintained a centralized SQL-based component library for Altium Designer with over 1,000 categorized components, enabling consistent access and reuse across remote teams. ● Designed a 4-layer uninterruptible power supply (UPS) PCB, including two versions: ● One using I2C-controlled charging/discharging ● Another with CAN-based wake-up for integration in standalone systems ● Simulated power circuits using LTspice and SIMPLIS to validate thermal behavior, signal integrity, and stability under dynamic loads. ● Followed structured design validation processes, combining schematic review, simulation, and iterative prototyping. ● Supported cross-functional team collaboration between firmware and hardware engineers to align system-level requirements.
PCB / Embedded Systems Engineer
since 02.2024 - Till the present day |NDA
Altium Designer, LTspice, PSpice, STM32, Arduino, AVR
● Designed multi-layer PCBs (up to 10 layers) and developed hierarchical schematics for industrial and robotics applications. ● Simulated analog and digital circuits using LTspice and PSpice, verifying timing, voltage stability, and noise immunity. ● Programmed embedded systems with bare-metal C/C++, focusing on real-time control, sensor integration, and power optimization.
Embedded Systems Intern
08.2023 - 10.2023 |Roya Technologies
Electronics Hardware Design, Electrical Engineering, Altium Designer
● Redesigned and debugged 4 industrial control boards, resolving power regulation, signal interference, and thermal instability issues. ● Programmed microcontrollers at the register level, optimizing system behavior and memory usage for automation tasks. ● Improved firmware responsiveness and system uptime by refining I/O control routines and interrupt handling.
Computer Vision Intern
02.2022 - 04.2022 |The Sparks Foundation
Python, OpenCV, Tesseract OCR, Pyttsx3
● Developed a real-time OCR + Text-to-Speech system using OpenCV, Tesseract, and Python, designed to assist visually impaired users. ● Optimized the pipeline for live webcam input and implemented basic UI functionality for user accessibility. ● Integrated speech synthesis (TTS) with scanned text output, ensuring accurate and natural readouts.
