@siddharthmanohar
Retired electrical engineer specializing in RF/microwave design, seeking to teach mathematics.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a retired electrical engineer with deep expertise in RF and microwave design, complemented by a master's degree in electrical engineering from Clemson University. Over a multi-decade career I worked in industry roles spanning engineering, applications, research assistance, and company leadership.
I have contributed to measurement-based modeling, circuit design and published multiple IEEE conference and journal papers on microwave circuits and RFIC design. I was part of a startup team designing chipsets for T/R modules and raised seed funding to launch Swint Electronics.
My professional experience includes roles as director, application engineer, senior engineer and research assistant across India, South Korea and the United States, and more recently I have pursued independent statistical arbitrage trading. I also have hands-on experience with test & measurement instrumentation and FOSS for low-cost microwave engineering tools.
I am now looking to transition into a teaching position in mathematics where I can apply my technical background, mentoring experience, and clear communication to inspire students and translate complex concepts into accessible learning.
