b. Low-power DC-DC SMPS circuits (under 50W).

c. Various LED drive circuits.

d. Standard high-speed microcontroller communication circuits (SPI/ USB / etc).

e. General analogue electronics design including small signal handling and processing for input into microcontrollers.

5. Good prototyping skills, ability to solder fine pitch components and use common lab equipment (digital oscilloscope, spectrum analyser, etc).

6. Bare metal & RTOS microcontroller software development in C.

7. Detailed understanding of microcontroller peripherals down to register level and have experience writing low-level drivers for SPI / I2C / UART / ADC / PWM /etc.

8. Able to write non-blocking, clean, maintainable and reusable code from general requirements.

9. Experience with IOT technologies & common network protocols (Wi-Fi / BLE / MQTT / etc)

10. Experience of working within a Quality System ideally EN ISO 13485 or ISO 9001 and awareness of validation and verification procedures.

Qualifications & Professional Experience:

Degree in Electronics Engineering. At least 3-5 years of industrial experience in electronics & firmware design.
