Ed Fisher CEng has a diverse work experience in various engineering roles. Ed currently works as a Senior Digital ASIC (RTL) Engineer at Dukosi, where they focus on digital RTL and test benches for battery control and monitoring ICs. Ed also develops embedded software for a custom microcontroller using Python. Ed's work at Dukosi involves measuring voltage, current, and temperature for each battery cell for automotive and energy storage applications.

Previously, Ed worked as a Foster Parent at Fostering People, providing foster care for vulnerable young people from abusive home environments. Ed underwent extensive background checks, including police checks, financial checks, and home visits. Ed and their wife undergo an annual peer review by an independent panel as part of the foster care process.

Prior to that, Ed worked as a Senior FPGA Digital (Firmware) Engineer at Leonardo. Their responsibilities included digital logic design using VHDL and TCL scripting for RADAR RF exciter control applications. Ed also developed calibration routines for RF PLL and RF attenuators. Additionally, Ed provided engineering consultancy services for two projects at Fisher Consultancy, one at Edinburgh University and another at Lumotive LLC in Seattle, Washington, USA.

Ed also has experience as a Senior Electronics/Hardware Engineer at Coda Octopus Products, where they worked on electrical systems design, analogue filter design and test, and algorithm development. Ed contributed to feasibility and system-level simulation, as well as generated proposals for design optimizations.

In terms of research work, Ed has been a Visiting Researcher and Postdoctoral Research Associate at The University of Edinburgh. Their research involved mixed-signal PCB hardware design and test, HDLs for FPGAs, and embedded C software development. Ed also worked on the FLITES project, focusing on fibre-laser imaging of gas turbine exhaust species.

Ed has held volunteer positions as a UKI Young Professionals Committee Member at IEEE UKI Section, where they aimed to promote the IEEE through events for young engineering professionals. Ed was also recognized as a 2017 Fellow for the Software Sustainability Institute and worked to promote best practices in research software development.

Furthermore, Ed has experience as a Development Engineer (Part-Time) at Cytomos, where they worked on ASIC development for biomedical cell analysis. Ed developed FPGA firmware using Verilog, conducted software development in Python, and performed ASIC characterization.

Lastly, Ed worked as a Mathematics and Physics Private Tutor, providing one-on-one tuition in these subjects.

Overall, Ed Fisher CEng has a strong background in engineering across various domains, including digital ASIC design, firmware development, consultancy, research, and education.
