Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Jacobson is a Hardware Development Engineer with eight years of experience designing circuits and laying out PCBs for high-performance systems, currently contributing to Amazon’s Project Kuiper customer terminals. He has deep analog and mixed-signal expertise from leading power-architecture design for high-powered radar systems and bringing up complex boards with 300+ ball FPGAs at Echodyne. At Microsoft he bridged hardware, software, and mechanical teams to debug multiple HoloLens prototype PCBs and produce detailed rework documentation, demonstrating strong cross-disciplinary collaboration. Comfortable across schematic capture, simulation, layout in Altium, and board bring-up, he routinely owns part selection through rework and BOM stabilization. Based in Redmond with a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington, he blends hands-on lab experience (sensor interfacing and prototyping) with product-focused hardware delivery. Notably, he excels at reducing rework cycles on complex mixed-signal boards, accelerating prototype timelines into reliable hardware.
