Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNiels Faber is an electrical engineer based in Eindhoven with six years of hands-on experience designing electronics for motion control, robotics, and custom manufacturing machines. He combines strengths in power and analog/digital circuit design, PCB layout, electromechanical actuator design and EMC/functional safety to take products from concept to manufacturable reality. At Prodrive he has progressed from internship and hardware roles to a core engineering position focused on motion control electronics, including a master's-level project developing a 300W BLDC motor drive. Outside work he contributes to open-source Home Assistant front-end projects, improving UIs and actionable notifications—demonstrating a practical flair for full-stack tweaks despite not being a software professional. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic design-for-manufacturing decisions and electrical qualification expertise that speed products to market. He is curious and hands-on, often bridging the gap between mechanical motion systems and robust electronic control.
