Electronics & software engineer · Hong Kong
I’m Joshua Ho, a mechanical engineer working across electronics, energy systems, research, and software.
About
I am a mechanical engineer who enjoys working where disciplines overlap: electronics, energy systems, physical product design, research, and software.
My best work usually starts with a question that does not fit neatly inside one field. I like turning those questions into practical experiments, clear evidence, and things people can use.
Experience
Selected roles across electronics, battery engineering, climate research, and mechanical design.
