  • Power supply design
  • Current sensing circuits
  • Precision measurement and control electronics
• Expertise in schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer
• Hands-on hardware debugging and fault-finding experience
• Verification and validation testing of electronic systems
• Experience designing for and troubleshooting EMC/EMI compliance
• Implementation of design improvements and engineering change activities on existing products
• Comfortable working across both design and laboratory-based engineering activities
• Experience producing and maintaining technical documentation to support regulated product development
• Understanding of DFM/DFT principles and design release processes
• Background working within regulated industries (Medical device, Automotive, Aerospace, safety-critical environments, etc.)
