Summary
Jan Hrach is a hardware and systems engineering leader with 11 years of experience designing and running operational weather radar networks and embedded electronics. As Head of Hardware Development at Meteopress he builds C-band and X-band radars end-to-end — from solid-state microwave amplifiers and SDR-based receivers to device drivers, denoising/calibration software and deployment logistics. He combines low-level C/Python development, KiCad hardware design and hands-on electronics skills (fine-pitch soldering, custom manufacturing) with a sysadmin mindset for Debian/OpenWRT-based deployments. His projects span novel auxiliary hardware (antenna rotator drivers, foldable radomes), air-quality sensors that overcome humidity issues, and a radar coverage simulator using SRTM topography. Based in Prague, he enjoys tackling cross-disciplinary problems that blend radio engineering, embedded systems and practical field operations.
