Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeonardo Ward is a Senior Hardware Engineer based in Paris with nine years of experience designing and industrializing consumer and industrial electronics from schematic to mass production. He specializes in PCB design (Altium, KiCAD), EMC-ready hardware for FCC/CE, power systems, high-speed interfaces and firmware development for microcontrollers and SoCs including ESP32 and Raspberry Pico. Leonardo has coordinated international supply chains and PCB manufacturing across Europe and China, and routinely generates producible outputs like BOMs, Gerbers and IPC‑2581 files. His background spans applied research—developing path‑planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles at Inria—to hands‑on product work such as air quality and power meters at VF Ingénierie and sustainability-focused hardware sprints with Supplyframe. Multilingual and academically advanced (MSc in Electrical Engineering underway), he documents projects and demos in a public portfolio, reflecting a preference for visible, reproducible engineering. Notably, he blends firmware and hardware expertise with practical manufacturing experience, making him effective at closing the gap between prototypes and certified products.
