About Dean Andersen

Electrical engineer specializing in the design, development and verification of very low power embedded systems. Skills include: • Expertise in complete ultra-low power embedded medical systems for implantable and non-implantable applications from board-level to full custom IC. • Embedded system architecture definition, implementation and verification. System modeling for power profiling. Making decisions for hardware implementation based desired power/performance. Understanding the trade-offs between full-custom, partially-custom and standard products hardware design. • Ultra-low power mixed-signal custom ASIC definition, design, characterization and verification. Several mixed-signal IC designs from white board to production. • Partitioning designs between hardware and software for trading off power/performance. • Direct work-related expertise in medical devices for cardiac rhythm management and neurostimulation applications. • RF system and antenna design for implantable applications. Experience at MICS and ISM frequency bands. • Interfacing with large companies and universities to find solutions to tough technical problems. • \"Hands on\" technical leader, project manager and mentor. Manged electrical engineers, software engineers, contractors and technicians throughout career. • Up-to-date with modern design flows and tools.
