Embedded Systems & Robotics Engineer

Kishan Chhari

I design custom PCBs, write real-time firmware, and build autonomous robots that balance, fly, and think. Every milliwatt budgeted. Every microsecond earned. From silicon to steel — I engineer the full stack.

About

Silicon to Steel. I Build It All.

Kishan Chhari

I design embedded systems where constraints force elegance — custom PCB layouts, real-time firmware, and hardware that works when it matters. Every project I build starts with a schematic, goes through a soldering iron, and ends with a robot that moves in the real world.

Completed my M.Sc. in Electronic Embedded Systems at ESIGELEC, France. Previously led a team of 12 engineers building gesture-controlled drones and IoT humanoid robots at Learning Links Foundation, Mumbai.

My work has been patented (bionic prosthetic arm, IP India), published (2 research papers — AIP Conference & Materials Today), and battle-tested in 6 national competitions at IIT Bombay, IIT Ropar, LNMIIT Jaipur, and Punjab Engineering College.

Looking for embedded systems & robotics engineering roles where I can ship production hardware under real-world constraints.
