While working as Technical
Director of a small technology led company I ensured that my hands-on
skills were maintained along with developing my management and business
capabilities. SInce operating as an independent I have invested
time and money in developing my capabilites in DSP, USB and VHDL
design.
My core skills are:
Embedded system architecture
conception and planning - that is, translating a customer requirement
(often very broadly expressed) into a precise specification and
system description down to component level and a detailed software
design.
Embedded C and assembler
programming for small processor systems (8 - 32 bit and DSP, including
8048, 8051, PIC, 6805, 6809, 68HC11, 'C167, AD2181, TI320C30, MC96000)
with very tight constraints on performance, memory, power consumption
and cost (usually on all four).
Computer modelling of
signal processing, analogue circuits and system performance using
SPICE, MATLAB and SIMULINK, Maple, Mathcad and FEA software.
Visual Basic programming
for PC interface to electronic instruments.
Analogue design from
ultra low power for data acquisition and transducer interfacing
to medium power (1500W) for superconducting magnet control.
I also have experience
of the following:
VHDL
PCB design and layout
3D Mechanical CAD and
modelling
Piezo electric accelerometer
design and application
Shock and vibration measurement
Automotive electronics
SPC and automotive and
ISO related quality control systems
