Robin van den BergSenior embedded hardware and software developer

I've known Georges since university. We have worked together on several jobs since then. He has a professional attitude, but also brings a good dose of humor to the office.

Georges has a hands-on mentality, is practical and can quickly create a working prototype. He has a lot of knowledge about electronics. When Georges reviews a design, he always comes up with a number of good points for improvement. He has an eye for the details. He is very valuable in the development team to develop a high-quality product together.

In addition to his electronics knowledge, I know Georges as a good embedded software developer. Here too, he develops products with an eye for detail and a practical approach.

Jasper van HamersveldElectrical engineer at High Voltage Engineering Europa B.V.

During my time at B/E Aerospace (later Collins Aerospace) I worked with Georges Meinders in the same team. We identified various failure root causes. Georges can easily adapt to various project tasks. He has the ability to dive into a niche engineering topic and substantiate his conclusions with company research, academic research, experimentation and lab analysis. All of the documentation he produced was clear and complete. I enjoyed working with Georges a lot. It was fun as well as productive.

Michiel KregelThen operations manager at DiagnOptics, now group lead in astronomical instrumentation at NOVA

At DiagnOptics Technologies, Georges joined the team and has been responsible for the design of the electronics and software of a prototype medical device over a period of half a year. We are very pleased with Georges' results, and appreciate his style of communication and sharing his knowledge and recommendations.
