Pete is an electronics engineer with a background in mixed-signal design, digital systems and software engineering. He has a wealth of experience building “full-stack” electronic systems, from low-level PCB design up to embedded firmware built using industry-standard tools to meet strict real-time requirements.

During his time at 42T, Pete has been put in charge of developing the software for a large mechanical test rig and has greatly enjoyed the opportunity to work with a multi-disciplinary team on an interesting and dynamic project.

Pete holds a Masters degree in Electronics with Computer Systems from the University of Southampton.

“I have always tried to balance my studies between hardware and software, taking as much interest in the low-level designs of computer processors as the software that can be run upon them. 42T and the wide variety of projects that come through our doors has allowed me to continue pursuing my varied interests. One day I’m working in a large team on a piece of industrial equipment. The next, I’m left to my own devices working on a low-power wireless sensor system.

“Outside of work, I can often be found making some kind of music, be it classical singing or playing an instrument. Armed with a newly acquired 3D printer, I am also looking into building my own musical instruments. My first project being to build a Hurdy Gurdy, an instrument famous (in select circles) for combining the obnoxious volume of the bagpipes with the musical fidelity of an inexperienced violinist. I promise not to test it in the office too much!”

Tolga is an innovative and accomplished electronics engineer with extensive problem-solving capabilities. He has spent over 25 years in product development companies and research centres. During his career, he has gained significant experience in designing analogue electronics, power systems, embedded systems and FPGA programming.

His skillset is broad, but especially focused on analogue sensor interface development and power electronics. His innovative approach led him to holding patents in electricity metering and light control sectors.

Tolga holds a first-class Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering from Istanbul Technical University.

“I love my job at 42T and the challenge - 42T is certainly the perfect place for that. I'm still learning new things even after 25 years in electronics! My curiosity is my driving force as it gives me impetus and makes me focus, an important part of my job as it promotes innovation.

Although I spent my career pursuing new technologies, I have a romance with the old stuff - meaning valves. I have already built several valve amplifiers. There is something magical about them that I can’t explain. My interest also covers nixie tubes and CRTs (cathode ray tubes). I love bringing those old technologies back to life and making use of them!”

At 42T he has been involved in several manufacturing process troubleshooting projects, as well as new product developments with a strong manufacturing focus.

“What I really enjoy at 42T is getting to the heart of a client’s problem. Long standing challenges are sometimes surrounded by myths and/or misunderstandings, and often going back to basics and getting a really clear idea of what is actually going on leads to the breakthrough that makes the difference. I find the way we probe and discuss problems at 42T as a team exciting and rewarding. Practical (almost geeky) enthusiasm for understanding the underlying principles of anything seems to be in 42T’s DNA, so we generally drive each other on to get to the real root cause and the optimal solution.

“Outside of work I enjoy cycling and live music but seem to have amassed too many pets and children to give such pursuits quite as much time as I’d like. Though the children are slowly starting to share my interests, the pets are slower to learn.”

The disparate technologies I need to familiarise myself with, and the range of challenges to solve keep me learning as well as finding new areas in which to apply my knowledge and experience.

“My free time is filled with various hobbies, ranging from artistic to scientific. Artistically I particularly enjoy drawing, engraving, photography and sculpture (I’m famed in the company for my snow sculptures on the rare winters that give me a chance). At the other end of the spectrum I enjoy making things and exploring scientific principles, both for my own amusement and for science communication to get kids interested in STEM.

“Science communication has led to me making, among other things, a water powered 50kV spark generator, a wind tunnel for testing paper aeroplanes, a hand cranked 1MW pulsed laser, various types of levitation and a 4 metre tall firenado (a tornado of self-chimneying fire). An example topic of experimentation for my own interest is diffractive optics, where I have made holograms and rainbow chocolate, working lenses from opaque hard disk drives and 35mm camera film, and performed image processing without a computer by using diffraction to physically filter the Fourier transform of images.

“I’m a technology obsessive and have always loved working, in depth, across a very wide range of technologies in the pursuit of solving problems. It is what I’ve most enjoyed about working within a variety of start-ups over the years, and I found the same breadth and depth of opportunity when I joined 42T.

“The culture is the right combination of being open, enthusiastic, inquisitive, pragmatic and challenging to drive towards finding the very best solution for a customer.

“Outside work I like to throw pots, make music, and hit people with swords.”

Jordan joined us in May 2022 as our Finance Assistant. He will be resuming his Level 2 AAT qualification from September, on a day release basis.  We plan to assist him in his ongoing professional development as he works his way through the full AAT qualification.

“The thing that sold me on 42T was the collaborative and supportive culture that has been built. It comes across very quickly when talking to the people here!

“Outside of spending time with family and friends, I follow a few sports and try to keep up with them as much as possible. Football will always be first on that list – Spurs! But I try my best to keep up with the goings on, and catch a game when I can, of Rugby Union with London Irish and the NFL with the Eagles. Other than that I’m probably writing, drawing, painting, or gaming.”

Jon is the Chief Executive Officer of 42T. He joined the company in 2007 as a graduate mechanical engineer and has worked as an engineer, project manager, industrial sector lead, and director of business development before becoming CEO. He is a problem-solver at heart and loves being involved with clients to see the big picture of where 42T’s work makes life better for them, for their businesses or for society in general.

Jon has a doctorate in Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) and master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Birmingham.

“42T has given me the opportunity to work on a wide variety of new products, including drug delivery devices, high pressure gas valves, chocolate production equipment, firefighter breathing systems, industrial internet of things devices, industrial printers, cash machines, and technology for space vehicles.

“I am especially proud of the team and the culture that we have here at 42T. We have a friendly, open and supportive team of very clever people who seem to genuinely like working together. It is a great place to be stretched and challenged and I am comfortable knowing that I am rarely the smartest person in the room (unless I am alone – and sometimes not even then!).

“In between work and a wonderful family that includes three fast-growing high-energy children, I can be found out cycling or in the garage/man cave making things, repairing things or hiding from the children.”

“As the father of six I’m greatly amused that the baby wipe brand we have found to have the best performance has benefitted from the 42T engineering talent. This amply demonstrates the breadth of the projects 42T handles. It’s impossible to predict what will come through the door next! The projects I’ve personally been involved with have presented significant challenges so giving me the opportunity to expand my knowledge in many areas. It‘s tremendously satisfying to be part of a fantastic team working on projects that are literally industrial in scale as well as smaller, niche projects having the potential to improve the health and life of people the world over.

“Shepherding our disparate band of six strong willed individuals along the path to their futures is a significant undertaking outside work, but is also a great excuse for exploring the world around us and not necessarily acting your age. Fortunately they all seem to love old aircraft, old cars and the countryside.”
