# Clarence Mayott > Staff Engineer - Hardware Location: Pleasanton, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/clarence I am a mixed signal applications engineer with over 14 year experience with high speed and precision data converters. As an applications engineer I have assisted customers with their designs involving high speed and precision ADCs, and high speed and precision DACs. I have also designed systems involving, amplifiers, regulators, FPGAs and sensors. I have reviewed schematics, layouts and FPGA code finding and solving customer issues. I have an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Santa Clara University and a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from California State University Polytechnic San Luis Obispo. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family in my three favorite places: the beach, Yosemite and Disneyland. ## Work Experience ### Staff Engineer @ Vector Atomic Jan 2025 – Present ### Senior Hardware Engineer @ Vector Atomic Jan 2023 – Present | Pleasanton, California, United States Lead the design of mixed-signal controller boards used in atomic clocks and gravimeters Collaborated with mechanical, software, and physics teams in the design of controller boards Designed complete controller board including FPGAs, RFSOMs, analog, digital, and power sections Directed the bring-up, verification and validation of the testing of incoming FPGAs Assisted in debugging issues associated with manufacturing of atomic clocks Mentored junior engineers with PCB layout, schedule creation and bring up and testing of PCBs ### Senior Hardware Engineering Manager - SDR @ Astranis Space Technologies Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Senior Hardware Engineer @ Astranis Space Technologies Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 ### Lecturer @ California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | San Luis Obispo County, California, United States Electronic Design ### Product Applications Engineer @ Analog Devices Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | Santa Clara Provides all technical collateral for precision SAR ADCs and DACs including evaluation boards, datasheets, technical articles and training material. Engage with customers to promote Analog Devices products and discuss customer needs for new product definition.
