In this series, we will be meeting some of the Docobo team members and finding out more about their role.

Meet Jeremy, he is our Principal Hardware Engineer, based at our Bookham Office. Jeremy joined the Docobo team in 2012.

What do you typically do in a day in your role?

My days most often include design/development of new products. However, the variety is great and covers everything from electronics specification, design and prototyping, embedded software, manufacturing support, regulatory compliance testing, clinical trial support, and calibration and fault analysis of deployed product.

What do you particularly enjoy about your role?

The enormous variety is stimulating and there’s great satisfaction from producing a clinically useful instrument that pushes the boundaries of what has gone before – and then hearing later what a difference it makes to people’s lives.

What do you find challenging about your role?

Usually, there is some technological mountain to climb. This might arise from the need to comply with medical device regulations which become ever stricter with every passing year, or from the complications arising from attempting to reliably measure medical properties of human beings!

What did you do before you joined Docobo?

I designed silicon chips for a multinational manufacturer of television set-top boxes

Are your colleagues supportive? If so, tell us more

My colleagues are always willing to help out. Even when the request is outside anyone’s normal expertise I can depend on good suggestions and willing effort. There’s a great team spirit.
