Yassine Damoh
Senior Hardware Engineer — Power Electronics & Embedded Systems
Yassine is currently UK-based, with remote-first support and international work considered by arrangement.
Eight years of senior hardware engineering across EV powertrain, EV charging infrastructure, industrial instrumentation, and automotive electrification programmes — from clean-sheet schematics through worst-case analysis, DFMEA, circuit failure analysis, lab bring-up, and production readiness. Working remote, on-site, or hybrid for client engagements worldwide.
Most hardware programmes hit a moment where they're one senior specialist short of shipping — a worst-case analysis they can't sign off internally, an intermittent failure the team can't reproduce, a pre-tape-out review nobody has bandwidth for. TaQaTronics exists to drop into that moment with rigorous, accountable engineering — and leave the programme stronger than it started.
