Hi, I am Jan

An electrical engineer from Zurich, Switzerland

Jan Stocker

Jan Stocker

Highly motivated and hardworking electrical engineer with excellent grades in both key modules and maths seeking for a career in research and development with demanding challenges.

In my free time the fascination of electronics motivates me to pursue private projects, for example this website.

Currently I am working as an embedded software engineer at Mettler Toledo and programming the firmware of scales.

Skills

From professional…

Embedded

Embedded system development and mixed signal processing on DSPs using bare metal C and real time operating systems (FreeRTOS & SEGGER) on Arm, Microchip, NXP and other platforms such as Wandboard or Raspberry Pi.

FPGA

Experience in FPGA design using hardware description language, High-Level Synthesis and LabVIEW. Application in image processing and control systems. National Instruments with LabVIEW is not a foreign word either.

Electronics

Analog hardware development skills form circuit design to testing and validation to production. Circuit prototyping using Matlab, Spice, Mentor Graphics or Eagle.

Software

Skills in C# and cross-platform GUI software development in C++, Java and LabVIEW. Furthermore, calculations or GUI development in Matlab.

Team

Versatile source code management using Git and SVN for version control. For application lifecycle and quality management experience with Windchill RV&S and HP Quality Center.

Documentation

Experience in LaTeX for documentation and papers.

  • March 2021 - Today

    Embedded Software Engineer

    I am learning the art of weighing. My responsibility is the firmware of industrial scales which communicate over Fieldbus (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and TCP/IP).

  • May 2019 - February 2021

    Software Engineer

    I started my first full-time job at PI Electronics AG as Software Engineer. I am very experienced in combination with FPGA, Real-Time Processor and Windows Application in LabVIEW. In order to increase performance I also use VHDL in combination with LabVIEW.

  • October 2018 - December 2018

    Language School

    After graduating from FHWN, I went to San Francisco to improve my english skills

  • September 2015 - September 2018

    BSc in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology

    During my full time studies at FHNW in Brugg-Windisch, I acquired the fundamental knowledge in electronics and could apply the learned in semester projects. Highlights during this time was the grade 6.0 for the Bachelor’s Thesis and the average mark of 5.2 over the whole studies.

  • August 2015 - September 2017

    Seasonal Job

    During my studies I had various seasonal jobs at the Paul Scherrer Institute. I improved my final work of the apprenticeship or wrote a software to produce calibration certificates.

  • August 2011 - August 2015

    Apprenticeship Electronics Technician

    After the compulsory school, I started my apprenticeship in electronics at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen. During my apprenticeship, I simultaneously attended the professional baccalaureate.
