Bert was ICsense’s very first employee, starting his professional journey with us in 2005. He began as a Design Engineer and grew into the role of Senior Project Leader. Today, Bert dedicates most of his time to supporting the design team and shaping ASIC specifications. As part of our story from the very beginning, his continued presence reflects true loyalty and commitment. Outside of work, Bert enjoys football and even coaches the ICsense soccer team.
I’m currently involved in a medical application project. As project leader, I manage a wide range of tasks aimed at ensuring we meet our intermediate milestones and ultimately reach the tape-out target. Most of my time is dedicated to supporting the design team and developing the ASIC specification, I also handle the technical communication with the customer.
My day usually begins with a cup of coffee, greeting my colleagues and checking for urgent messages. I typically have a long to-do list, but I also need to be ready to tackle ad-hoc issues as they arise. It can be challenging, but there’s a great sense of satisfaction each time a problem is successfully resolved.
When I graduated from university, I was looking for a job opportunity in or near Leuven. I preferred a small company – one where it wasn’t all about the money. Ideally, I wanted to contribute to making the world a better place or improving people’s lives. During the job interview, I immediately felt very welcome. Although the company was just starting out, it was clear that the founders were ambitious in a healthy way. Since the sensor business has a wide range of applications and ICsense focuses on ASICs that bridge the analog and digital worlds, it was clear there would be plenty of opportunities to grow.
