We are thrilled to welcome Ali Naraghipour to our team as a Hardware Engineer. Ali will play a pivotal role in shaping the hardware development of our ARM-based devices and PIC microcontrollers, with a special focus on PIC32 models. Reporting to Mohammed, Ali will collaborate closely with our team to define design requirements and oversee the journey from initial concept to final manufacturing. His contributions will also extend to specifying our electronic platform and leading crucial debugging, verification, and validation processes. Ali comes to us with a rich academic background, having recently earned his MSc in Robotics from Sheffield University. Before that, he spent two years as a senior Embedded Systems Engineer with the Medical Devices Design Group at Nasir in Iran. Ali also holds a BSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from K.N. Toosi University of Technology in Tehran. We are excited to harness his expertise in advancing our technological capabilities.
How did you get involved in Occuity and why did you feel it was the right thing for you?
I discovered the Hardware Engineering role at Occuity on Indeed, and what immediately caught my attention was the company's strong background in medical device design and manufacturing—a field closely aligned with my previous work experience. After a little more research on Occuity’s projects, I was particularly drawn to the non-invasive Glucometer project. This project resonates strongly with my primary research focus and professional interests, making it an ideal fit for my expertise and aspirations. What excites me most about Occuity is its commitment to usage of cutting-edge technology to improve and enhance the quality of life for individuals. This mission aligns perfectly with my personal and professional values.
What is your position at Occuity and why is your role important?
Currently, I am a Hardware Engineer at Occuity, where my responsibilities span the hardware development of PICs, ARM-based devices, and FPGAs. My role includes circuit design, PCB design, and collaborating with the engineering team to define and realize design concepts. I also participate in debugging, verification, and validation of the electronics platforms. My contributions extend across all Occuity projects, including AX1, SD1, GL1, and AD1. Under the guidance of my line manager, Dr. Mohammed Elsayed, I work closely with the engineering team to ensure optimal hardware performance. I believe the hardware specification and design of each project would highly affect the system results and performance. Therefore, my role is crucial for developing the MedTech cutting-edge devices.
What do you find most exciting or unique about Occuity's technology/products?
What I find particularly fulfilling is the opportunity to contribute to the development of devices that enhance patient diagnosis quality. As I witnessed how portable, handheld medical diagnostic and monitoring devices can significantly ease the diagnostic process for both patients and operators in my previous role. Occuity’s well-engineered, thoughtfully designed products reflect a complex engineering process, exactly the type of challenge I seek in my career.
What do you believe sets Occuity apart from other companies in a similar field?
Occuity’s development process exemplifies pioneering, cutting-edge technological methods, resulting in medical devices unlike anything currently available in the market. The team’s commitment to designing and producing transformative MedTech devices separates Occuity from other companies in the field. This dedication inspires me, and I am proud to be part of a team that shares a passion for innovation and making an impact on healthcare.
