Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJasper Sikken is a Senior Hardware Developer with eight years of focused experience designing low-power, solar-assisted and wearable electronics, taking products from prototype through EMC compliance to mass production. He excels in schematic and PCB design (Altium, Eagle), embedded C/C++ firmware for ARM and ESP32 families, and building PCBA test systems in manufacturing environments. His work spans LTE-M/NB-IoT, BLE, GPS and bio-sensing—he's tested dry-skin ECG and bioimpedance electrodes and designed flex-rigid PCBs for wearable applications. Comfortable in small teams, Jasper combines hands-on circuit design with practical compliance know-how (CE/EMC) and a credo of "keep it short and simple." Less obvious: he has repeatedly served as the first hardware hire at startups, translating research prototypes into first-time-right production hardware.
