Spotlight on Our Summer Intern: William Chambers 

This summer, we were delighted to welcome William Chambers to Neuranics as an Engineering Intern supporting our ASIC development activities for TMR sensor readout. Having recently completed his third year of the BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, William joined the team with a strong interest in FPGAs, digital systems, signal processing, and semiconductor engineering.

Over the course of his internship, William became an integral part of the engineering team, gaining hands-on experience in magnetic sensor ASIC development and exposure to the processes involved in bringing innovative semiconductor technologies to life. Working alongside experienced engineers, he performed FPGA verification, developed a loopback test, and built Python tooling to validate device performance through histogram analysis.

William quickly adapted to a fast-paced engineering environment, demonstrating a thoughtful and methodical approach to problem-solving. His willingness to take on new challenges and engage with unfamiliar tools and methodologies enabled him to make meaningful contributions across a range of projects. Through his work, he gained valuable insight into the collaborative nature of engineering and the importance of rigorous development processes in advancing cutting-edge technology.

Reflecting on his time at Neuranics, William said, “My internship at Neuranics has been an incredible experience. It’s a wonderful place to work, and learning from experts across ASIC development, sensor design, machine learning, and business management has directly exposed me to knowledge that I wouldn’t have found in a lecture theatre or at a large company. The highlight of this experience for me was combining my understanding of digital design, communication protocols, and hardware debugging, to go beyond simulation and perform hardware verification of a real ASIC. Lastly, I would like to express my deepest thanks to Meraj for his invaluable mentorship and guidance alongside the rest of the Neuranics team.”

One of the most rewarding aspects of William’s placement was the opportunity to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world product development. By working closely with the team, he strengthened both his technical knowledge and professional skills, gaining a deeper understanding of semiconductor engineering and the innovation that drives the industry forward.

We were delighted to have William as part of the Neuranics team over the summer. His enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment to learning made a lasting impression, and we wish him every success in the next stage of his studies and future career.
