Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Nolan is a Senior Controls Engineer with 12+ years in real-time embedded software, systems engineering and EMC-driven hardware design, currently leading R&D control systems at Alstom Grid Power Electronic Activities. He has deep domain expertise in HVDC and VSC projects, having captured and managed requirements, led live commissioning of large-scale bipole systems, and coordinated outsourced firmware integration. Comfortable across the stack—from UML/Rhapsody and VxWorks on VME to SHARC DSPs and Tornado/VisualDSP toolchains—he blends rigorous engineering processes with practical field commissioning experience. He also brings a strong track record of tender support and customer-facing work, translating commercial requirements into phased technical delivery. A Cambridge-educated engineer, Andrew’s atypical strength is combining hands-on low-level algorithm development (20µs thermal models) with systems-level requirement management and project leadership.
