Ian Bruinsma – Senior Electronics Engineer

Ian’s competence is in practical electronics hardware design. He is skilled in designing complex analog and digital circuits ready for reliable low cost manufacture. This includes high speed analogue signal measurement and processing, including impressive experience in the upper MHz range of analogue pre-processing, and signal capture.

Combine this with years of experience in programmable logic design (FPGA & CPLD), allows the full scope of today’s highly integrated solutions. As a result, his designs end up as innovative highly polished, low cost, and flexible solutions to previously "impossible" problems.

He comes with more than 19 years of experience in electronics design working for such companies as Cochlear for 5 year and CEA Technologies for 8 years, specialising in Radar development. Prior to this he worked for an optical fibre research company for 3 years. This has helped him develop a good intuitive knowledge of the complex issues often hidden in modern designs. Ian has been able to build good attention to detail early in the design process, especially manufacturing testingand production documentation.

Particular career experience includes design right through to manufacture of consumer audio, optical electronics, military/commercial radar, complex precision analog interfaces, high speed digital processing, implanted electronics, and body-worn medical electronic systems, precision high speed measurement systems, complex programmable logic systems, and high impedance high frequency analogue measurements.
