About

I'm looking for a hardware / firmware design engineering position: custom electronics, firmware for DSP,
microcontrollers, SoC, embedded systems or test fixture. My latest designs focus on redundant industrial controller, pro A/V product, automated quality control, modifications for repeatable manufacturing: EMI & EMC, lowered rejects and costs.
