Summary
Joe Baker is an instrumentation and electrical design engineer with 14 years of experience building and certifying hardware for startups, currently contributing to fusion systems in Cambridge, MA. He specializes in robotics, motion control, embedded computing, and end-to-end product launches—handling PCB design in Altium, firmware for STM32/dsPIC, and cloud-based ECAD library management. Joe has led regulatory and certification efforts (FCC, CE, IEC, ATEX) and driven manufacturability and volume production processes in ISO9001 environments. His work spans low-power sensor systems, motor control, data logging, and system integration with platforms from Jetson to Raspberry Pi. Comfortable moving between hands-on prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting) and formal documentation, he repeatedly brings lab-scale inventions to certified commercial products. Colleagues value his combination of field-tested hardware expertise and practical systems thinking that anticipates certification and manufacturing challenges early in the design cycle.
