Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Heeris is a Senior Electronic Engineer with 17 years' experience designing and delivering embedded systems spanning FPGA and CPLD HDL, microcontroller C/assembly, and higher-level SBC software. He blends deep technical expertise in digital electronics, DSP, control systems and device drivers with practical optimisation experience—from SIMD and compiler intrinsics to low-power MSP430 firmware—gained across industries including audio, RF, and medical research. He has a strong track record of turning research code into production-ready embedded solutions and commercial integrations, notably porting floating-point signal processing to fixed-point TI DSPs and producing readable, optimised reference implementations. Equally comfortable in front of a whiteboard or a user manual, he brings extensive science communication and technical writing experience to improve documentation, run workshops, and demo complex products. Based in Sydney and holding dual honours degrees in Engineering and Physics, he is seeking four-day work weeks and is open to roles that lean into communications or technical-authoring as well as hands-on engineering. An unusual strength is his combination of experimental-physics rigour with production-grade embedded optimisation, making him effective at bridging lab research and fielded products.
