Summary
Sima Mitra is a Staff Hardware Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 14 years of experience designing embedded systems, wearables, and photonics-enabled products. A Cornell ECE M.Eng. graduate, she has progressed through multiple hardware roles at Verily where she led designs from prototype to production, and earlier built robust firmware and test automation for IoT and medical-sensing startups. Her background blends circuit design, PCB layout, embedded C firmware, and algorithm development for physiological sensing—she’s improved battery life, achieved RF certifications, and authored automated firmware test platforms. Hands-on work with test rigs, optical sensor evaluation, and 3D-printed fixtures shows she thrives at the intersection of hardware, systems, and manufacturing. Colleagues value her interdisciplinary curiosity and the practical habit of leaving durable design artifacts (for example, long-lived touch-off circuits and reliable test frameworks) that outlive a single product cycle.
