Anand Jinesh
A Bit About Me
Final-year Mechatronics Engineering student at McMaster University with a focus on Power Electronics, VLSI, and Signal Integrity. I bring hands-on experience from internships at major semiconductor companies like AMD, where I worked on advanced technologies such as HBM, UCIe, and silicon interconnect modeling. I have also published research with AMD on the application of Machine Learning in interconnect design, driving innovation in complex design processes.
Currently, I serve as Module Design lead for the Battery Workforce Challenge with Stellantis, where I lead battery module development. Previously, I was the Suspension Manager for the McMaster Solar Car project and now act as an Advisor to the team.
With multiple publications on motor controllers, SiC-based power devices, and ML in interconnect design, I am actively seeking full-time roles starting in summer 2025.
