Tell me a bit about your role within the Digital Displacement team?
I am an embedded systems designer within the Digital Displacement team. My role is that I’m involved with the research and development of the embedded software and the electronic hardware of the electronic control units on the pumps.
As well as the design phase, I’m also involved with implementing, testing, and documenting the software to ensure all the components are working together with the other hardware on the pumps. The role involves a lot of problem-solving and sometimes some head-scratching but that’s what I really enjoy about it.
How did you get into engineering?
I’ve always been very interested in science and technology from when I was a young child so I feel it was only natural that I would end up in a role like this. In high school, my favorite subjects were physics and chemistry which gave me a good working knowledge of the basic scientific principles.
I then went on to study telecommunications engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and then I went on and specialized in electronic systems engineering for my Masters at the same university before graduating in 2018 and moving to Scotland.
