ELECTRONIC design and manufacturing specialists GSPK Design Ltd, of Knaresborough, has appointed Tomasz Norowski as a design engineer.

Tomasz, who is from Kozienice in Poland, studied at the Electric Technical School before reading for a Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology. During his studies, he worked for ABB Poland.

After graduating last year, Tomasz moved to England in search of better career opportunities, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience.

His recruitment is a direct result of the success the company has witnessed over the course of 2008.

Jim Needham, technical manager at GSPK Design, said: “We were very impressed by Tom at his interview and very quickly decided to offer him a position working within the company. Although Tom has only been with us a short while, I am very pleased with his standard of work. At present, Tomasz is writing C software for a new hand-held instrument using an STM32 (ARM Cortex M3) microcontroller. This is a new processor, but it has been so successful for GSPK Design that it is already being included within two further new designs.”
