Umar Majid

Electronic Bench Engineer @ Northern Drives and Controls Ltd

About

I am an Electronics Engineer with a strong academic foundation in embedded systems, circuit design, and signal processing, combined with hands-on industrial experience and growing interest in systems engineering and technical leadership roles. I hold an MSc in Electronic Engineering (Distinction) from the University of Huddersfield and a BEng in Electrical & Electronic Engineering. My background includes embedded programming (C/C++, MATLAB, Python), digital and analogue circuit design, PCB design, and hardware–software integration. While my recent role has involved hands-on troubleshooting and testing in an industrial environment, my long-term focus is on embedded systems development, control and systems engineering, and technical project or engineering management roles where I can work closer to design, integration, and decision-making.
