Summary
James Mendel is a hardware engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience designing, simulating, and bringing up complex electronic systems, currently advancing medical device hardware at Medtronic. He blends RF and analog expertise—from Ka-band radar miniaturization and EMG analog front-end optimization to power distribution network validation—with practical skills in Altium, LTSpice, MATLAB, and embedded C++. James has a track record of improving noise performance, developing low-cost sensing solutions, and automating test and data workflows to accelerate product validation. He pairs a systems-level perspective with meticulous bench-level craftsmanship, often taking projects from requirements and simulation through PCB assembly and first-power-up. Beyond product work he’s taught peers (Altium PDN training) and applied statistical analysis to sensor characterization, signaling a strong mix of technical communication and experimental rigor. Based in Boulder, he actively seeks new electronics challenges that stretch both leadership and design creativity.
