Summary
Ville Tiukuvaaar is a firmware and hardware engineer with nine years’ experience specializing in electromagnetics, RF systems, and metrology, currently applying his skills at Landis+Gyr in Switzerland. He blends academic depth from research roles at EPFL and Carleton—where he developed mathematical models for metasurfaces and bespoke near-field antenna measurement rigs—with hands-on RFIC and embedded systems work from industry stints at Skyworks and the RCMP. Ville is comfortable across the stack from nano-fabrication and high-frequency measurement (20–40 GHz) to PCB/IC evaluation and low-level firmware, and has taught optics, electromagnetics, and power electronics. Notably, he has implemented genetic-algorithm-driven optical characterization and custom data-conversion tools that materially sped lab workflows, revealing a knack for turning research prototypes into practical test systems.
