Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Wahl is an independent electrical engineering consultant with 13 years of multidisciplinary experience spanning mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineering. He has led cross-functional teams to deliver regulated medical devices, spacecraft lighting, and custom scientific instruments, and he turned a hobbyist electronics practice into a consulting business designing battery management systems and low-power wireless sensor modules. Known for a practical "do what’s needed" mindset and a dry sense of humor, he combines hands-on prototyping and firmware development with systems-level reliability and DFMEA-driven risk reduction. At GE Healthcare he accelerated control loop performance and cut prototype costs through firmware and hardware simplification, and he holds multiple patents related to anesthesia vaporizer control. Based in Verona, Wisconsin, he thrives on solving problems others avoid and bringing rugged, testable solutions from concept to deployment. He also brings uncommon breadth—having worked on Antarctic neutrino observatory hardware early in his career—so he’s comfortable designing for extreme and highly regulated environments.
