Summary
Jerry Twomey is an experienced analog, mixed-signal and RF electronic designer with 14+ years of hands-on and leadership experience developing semiconductor, PCB and system-level products, currently leading Effective Electrons from San Diego. He specializes in medical device development and wireless power for mobility and patient-monitoring systems, with a track record delivering IEC-60601-1 compliant designs and successful FDA 510(k) submissions. His semiconductor work spans CMOS (to 45nm), SiGe and RF-CMOS, and ranges from micro-power circuits to high-speed data, RF wireless and optical fiber systems. Known as the engineer people call when others get stuck, he thrives on “out of the box” challenges like substrate noise, ESD, EMC/EMI in hostile environments and signal processing near the noise floor. He has published regularly in EDN, Electronic Design and IEEE venues and maintains technical whitepapers and columns that bridge practical troubleshooting with deep theory. Beyond product delivery, he brings rare cross-domain fluency—from space thermal extremes to cranial therapeutic hypothermia—that accelerates problem resolution in high-stakes designs.
