NOTE:  This is posted for a friend.  If you would like to contact
him by email, you may do so at: pvisocch@eleceng.ucl.ac.uk.  I will
forward mail, but it would be better to contact him directly. He has
told me that he would like a job in California, but I think he'd be
receptive to other geographic regions if the position were interesting.

---

I am seeking a position which requires an experienced analogue circuit
designer, preferably related to the telecommunications industry, but not
essential.

I can offer more than seven years analogue design experience gained in
a commercial industrial environment and within a university research
department. My experience covers full custom design of analogue 
integrated circuits (IC) using GaAs MESFET technology and electro-optic
designs for fibre optic communication systems including SDH. 

Within my seven years work experience I have published five papers and
filed five patents. For further details please see the following resume.

If you require any further information please don't hesitate to contact me.

Design and PCB layout of high speed, direct modulation, optical transmitters
using discrete analogue circuits at transistor level operating at 150MBits/s,
34MBits/s and 16MBits/s. Design of optical mean power and temperature
feedback control circuits (three patents) for the optical transmitters using 
op-amps. Design of a discrete wide dynamic range, low noise optical receiver
at transistor level operating at 16Mbit/s, including the associated clock
recovery circuits (two patents). 
Defining the requirements of an optical specification for the proposed new
Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). Preparation for key date reviews and
the supervision of junior/graduate engineer support staff.
