We asked some members of the DisplayLink team why they enjoy working for the company. Read their responses here.
Dan
Senior Firmware Engineer
Along with several members of the development team, Dan joined DisplayLink from Virata/Conexant, having worked extensively in the IPTV industry before that. Dan says: 'it was a great introduction to the company being invited to the summer barbecue two weeks before my joining date'.
One of the things Dan most likes about his job is that it straddles hardware and software (as told by the variety of instrumentation on his desk!). Dan has relished having to implement solutions from both areas and has had to acquire many new skills along the way: 'When I started, taken on to write the USB drivers in the software, I never realised I'd end up helping to verify the silicon designs as well; it's been a great challenge!'.
Dan also finds that the great team spirit makes the work atmosphere very pleasant and is impressed with the good communication and integration between the software and hardware teams developing the reference designs and next generation of silicon.
Being a young father, Dan has also found the company a very sympathetic place to be. 'DisplayLink really looks towards the needs of the employees as people and considers their personal needs and aspirations for development', he says
Krzysztof
Development Engineer
Krzysztof moved to Cambridge from Poland to join DisplayLink.
The assistance he received from the HR department during the relocation process impressed him greatly and he soon felt at home in his new surroundings.
Having previously worked for BenQ Mobile R&D as a system programmer, Krzysztof saw DisplayLink as an ideal company to apply the skills he had – and develop some new ones.
The concept of connecting displays without wires impressed him greatly, as did the enthusiasm and energy of the development team.
As Krzysztof explains: 'I get to work with people who are really passionate about what they do and really get to the core of the operating system to make everything work properly'.
Mary-Ann
Development Engineer
Mary-Ann got her first taste of programming during her Mathematics degree at Cambridge University.
She then did the 4th year "Certificate of Advanced Mathematics" at Cambridge before joining the Cambridge Technology Group / XJTAG.
With a background in low-level software / firmware, Mary-Ann moved to DisplayLink for a fresh challenge in an up-and-coming company with some great products.
She was particularly attracted by the emphasis on personal and career development.
As a firmware engineer in the ASIC team at DisplayLink, Mary-Ann spends her time 'getting the hardware to talk to the software' in a variety of different ways
