Andrew Lohmann’s Summary
Good at interpreting what is actually required and helping to bring that about. Working with people in a consensual way across disciplines.
From concept through simple elegant design of circuitry and software, To Design files parts list and test procedures that result in a good solution. And full lifetime support. Good feel for how electronics and printed circuit boards will actually behave. And how to ensure the circuit functions well
I have a low intervention people management style that is liked and productive. I endeavour to find out the requirement and the lessons from the past at the outset and continuing during development, and product life.
.

Andrew Lohmann’s Experience
-
Electronics Engineer
Wipac Ltd
(Automotive industry)
August 2008 — May 2009 (10 months)
Design and Development of LED lighting for cars. This using switch mode power supplies, to meet Automotive industry standards for EMC voltage range, safety, and cost. Working with Mechanical Engineers to fit electronics into 3D design.
These standard are higher than CE marking require which I have worked to previously, but it turns out that my track record for achieving good margins for CE marking, means that I have found the challenge achievable.
This work is basic robust but elegant and simpler solutions - which I have and continue to enjoy meeting. -
