Summary
David Meiklejohn is an embedded electronics and firmware engineer turned project manager based in Sydney with over a decade of experience building connected devices, ultra-low-power systems and embedded Linux solutions. He has led small engineering teams end-to-end—from circuit design and PCB layout to Yocto-based ARM builds, cellular/satellite connectivity and production test-fixtures—while also managing projects and external contractors. Prior to focusing on hardware, he ran IT infrastructure and delivery across the Asia Pacific for large-scale services organisations, giving him rare depth across both operations and product engineering. He has run his own electronics business and shipped commercial products, which informs a pragmatic, manufacturing-aware approach to design. Comfortable in small shops where engineers wear many hats, he pairs hands-on C firmware and board-level expertise with proven program delivery skills. Colleagues describe him as the kind of engineer who can move seamlessly between low-level debugging and stakeholder-facing project leadership.
