Computer engineer with eight years designing and building computing systems for a technology company in Manchester. Works across hardware and software — designing systems, writing firmware and drivers, integrating components, and making sure the whole stack performs reliably. Designed an embedded system that improved performance and reliability for a key product. Designs and tests computing systems, develops firmware and low-level software, integrates hardware and software, debugs across the stack, and works to engineering standards. Strong on both the hardware understanding and the software skill computer engineering demands. Analytical, methodical and a strong problem-solver. Looking for a computer-engineer or embedded-systems role with a company building serious computing products.

Work Experience

Manchester Technology Company - Manchester, UK

Computer Engineer April 2015 to Present 11 years & 4 months

Design and build computing systems across hardware and software for the company, owning each system from concept through to release.
Designed an embedded system that improved performance and reliability for a key product over its previous generation.
Write firmware, drivers and low-level software for the systems I build, tuning each layer carefully for speed and stability.
Integrate hardware and software and debug across the whole technology stack, tracing faults from circuit board up to application code.
Test systems thoroughly and resolve performance and reliability issues before release, catching defects early through structured validation cycles.
Work to engineering standards and keep full documentation across every project so designs stay maintainable and easy to hand over.

North West Electronics - Manchester, UK

Systems / Embedded Engineer August 2013 to March 2015 1 year & 8 months

Supported hardware and firmware design on engineering projects as a systems engineer, contributing to schematics, prototypes and test rigs.
Wrote and tested firmware and integrated components across several projects, verifying each build against the hardware on the bench.
Learned embedded systems, drivers and integration on the job over years, taking on more complex design work with each project.
Gained the embedded-systems certification while delivering real hardware and progressed steadily into a full computer-engineer role.
Education

University of Manchester

MEng in Computer Engineering (September 2009 to June 2013)

Integrated master's in computer engineering covering hardware, software, embedded systems and networks, with a project. The project led directly into systems work. Built the deep technical foundation the role requires.

IEEE / Industry Training

Embedded Systems & Firmware Certification (January 2015 to June 2015)

Certification in embedded systems and firmware covering microcontrollers, drivers and integration. It sharpened the low-level engineering toolkit used daily. Applied directly to designing and building embedded systems.
Highlights

Better-performing system

Designed an embedded system that improved performance and reliability for a key product. A system that runs faster and more reliably directly improves the product it powers.

Across the whole stack

Works across hardware and software to make the whole system perform reliably. Understanding both sides is exactly where a computer engineer adds value.
Embedded System Design

Embedded System Design

Computer Engineer (January 2019 to December 2019)

Designed and built an embedded system for a key product, developing the firmware and integrating the hardware and software, which improved its performance and reliability and shipped successfully to customers.
Certifications
