Chris Voerman
Chris Voerman received his Electrical Engineering degree (BSc) in Electrical Engineering from the Haagse Hogeschool in 1987. He started his career at Satcom, a company that developed and manufactured equipment for the consumer satellite market and telephones (normal, payphones, wireless) for the Dutch Telecom Provider (KPN). His role was to draw schematics, design the PCBs and assemble and test the prototypes. This company was taken over by CPS Europe, a member of the PijnenBurg Group in Vught.
In 2004 he changed from PCB Layout engineer to become a Layout Engineer at National Semiconductor. From 2008 through 2015 he was a Senior Layout Engineer with Maxim Integrated followed by Senior Layout Engineer with Mellanox Technologies. In 2017 he left the company to become a freelance Senior Layout Engineer (Dialog Semiconductor) and in 2018 he re-joined with his old team members to do the layouts for Delft Semiconductor.
