Ahmedabad, December 06: With increasing digitalization, the one common demand of anyone whether you’re a food truck owner or a doctor using telemedicine is faster internet connectivity. From extremely slow speeds in 2G to the recent lightning speed in 5G, wireless communication technology has seen an immense growth in the past decade facilitating everyone to move towards a more digital future. Krishna Chaitanya Gangavaram, who is currently working at Apple, California gives us insights on the current trends in this cutting-edge field. He talks about his journey so far for those interested in pursuing this field and wanting to be part of something transformational.
Talking about himself Krishna Gangavaram said that,“I did my undergrad from IIIT in 2011 and then worked at a startup called Redpine Signals in Hyderabad. After working for a few years, I pursued my graduate studies in the US. I graduated with a master’s degree from Cornell University in 2016. I’ve about 10 years of industry experience with the past 4 years at Apple designing circuits for next generation wireless communication systems”.
About how his skills and knowledge helped me reach where he is today he said that, “A very strong liking for physics made me pursue electronics and communication engineering in undergrad”. He developed immense interest and passion towards wireless technology when working on his academic project on power amplifiers. Following this interest, he joined Redpine’s signals, a startup that pioneers in ultra lower wireless solutions, as a circuit design engineer. Working at a startup provided him with multiple interdisciplinary skills like circuit design; layout design and RF measurement techniques needed to do chip bring up in the lab. One of the key skills required to thrive as a hardware engineer is paying attention to every small detail in design. Working at a small startup environment helped him gain this skill at a much earlier stage in his career. Chip fabrication is an extremely expensive and time-consuming process – a small bug in design might cost millions of dollars and few years of delays in product launch to the company. Being curious and gaining knowledge across different disciplines is also very important. That’s why he thinks these are the most important skills that helped him grow in his career.
