My Skill Set

I'm currently employed but looking to move on. My CV is available on request.
I have a wide range of skills, so I am best suited to a small-scale R&D environment.
My skills are summarised here:

• Microprocessor-based embedded control hardware design
• Orcad Schematic design entry
• Programmable logic design:
  CUPL up to 22V10 devices,
  VHDL synthesis for Xilinx FPGA chips.
• Real-world interfacing:
  Analogue I/O - A to D / D to A conversion with sensible PCB layout
  Digital I/O - sensing switches, opto-isolation, driving LEDs and relays.
• Practical Design:
  for maximum quality, for ease of production, and minimum cost
• EMC - I'm not an expert but I design-in countermeasures from the start.
• Prototype assembly and debugging
• Production test and repair
• Quality control procedures.
• Technical writing:
  technical product proposals,
  design and test procedures,
  service and user manuals.
• Technical support - I can communicate with non-technical people, verbally or written.
• I2C multi-master multi-slave systems
• Z80, 8085, 6502, PIC16C65, H8, 80188
• Static and dynamic RAM (though not to the speeds used in desktop PC!)
• Display technology (Vacuum Fluorescent and LCD)
• Audiophile Hi-Fi - I used to work for Arcam Hi-Fi
  Remote control handset protocols -RC5, NEC.
• Switching power supplies - to about an amp, not the big ones!
• PC/104 - not a great form factor but lots of people use it.
• STEbus - I used to work for Arcom Control Systems
• Fieldbus network technology
• HTML in simple styles

Secondary skills

• C and Assembly programming -
  Note that I am looking for a mostly hardware job, because that's what I'm good at.
  There's usually a micro at the centre of it all, and I can do enough to get prototype hardware up and running. Larger / more complex software takes proportionately longer!

Location

• Cambridge, England
  Ideally would like to stay here but will relocate for a good job and salary.
