Ricardo Smith

I'm an Embedded Systems Engineering Manager at Clairways, where I lead development of a wearable respiratory monitor. I manage a small engineering team delivering hardware and firmware improvements that have significantly reduced power consumption and improved system reliability.

My work spans the full product lifecycle — from system-level architecture and mixed-signal PCB design through firmware development, production management, and backend infrastructure deployment.

I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Dartmouth College, where I graduated with a 3.52 GPA and was a Ben Carson and Questbridge scholar.
