BANGALORE: Indian techies working for technology giants such as Microsoft and Google are very common nowadays. With companies giving placements and internships directly from universities the possibilities of Indians fetching their dream jobs have gone up. All of us are aware of the Google’s India origin CEO Sundar Pichai who recently got appointed for the position. But most of us don’t know the Bangalore born talent hardware engineer Hakim Raja who works on some of the interesting projects for the company, reports Economic Times.
Hakim Raja was always been clear about his priorities and wanted to take up hardware technologies further in his life. His father’s hardware shop made him fall in love with nuts and bolts. The award winning scientist Ivan Poupyrev discovered the talented young man who was a newbie at Google at that time. The former principal research scientist at Walt Disney stated that "Hakim had a sparkle in his eyes when I first told him about my big ideas; he is certainly one of the most talented engineers I have worked with, "He led the gesture sensor's engineering from conception to tape-out and did it in record time just- four months,"
He got himself involved in the ‘Project Soli’ that uses radar built into tiny microchips and has the potential to be a part of anything from cars to toys, furniture, a wearable computer and games, literally anywhere people want to connect with devices. He said that "Along with our semiconductor component partners, I design and implement the chip that enabled gesture sensing. I had found a new passion for product design. The Stanford years transformed me from a technology and domain-focused engineer into a product, user-focused engineer."
