On a daily basis, we apply state of the art technology to better the lives of patients around the world.I work with a group of highly talented and motivated individuals in the field of medical imaging. My job is to design and test the electrical circuits which drive our system. I incorporate cutting edge technology in both analog and digital domains into our circuit boards. This in conjunction with meticulous board level planning allows us to achieve unprecedented signal integrity. As a team, we strive for image fidelity. As an individual, I provide the best electronics platform to enable this. Together, we are setting a new standard in our field in medical imaging.Designing medical devices also requires a great deal of thought on patient safety, comfort and convenience.
