About Dean Claxton

Accomplished Senior Electronics Engineer with 10+ years developing innovative hardware solutions across mining, environmental monitoring, and computing markets. Proven track record delivering complete product ecosystems from conceptual design through commercial success, combining advanced PCB design, embedded firmware development, and precision mechanical engineering. Expert in modern development practices including AI-assisted coding, with demonstrated ability to manage complex multi-product portfolios and establish strategic manufacturing partnerships across international markets. After a successful decade in IT management, I made a deliberate transition to pursue my passion for electronics engineering - a decision that has led to over 10 years of innovative product development. Whether leading engineering teams at Saros International, designing the award-winning JD Micro product line, or developing critical embedded systems for electric vehicle battery management, I bring a unique combination of: End-to-end product leadership - from initial concept through manufacturing and market delivery. Cross-disciplinary expertise - seamlessly integrating electronic, mechanical, and software design. Team leadership and mentorship - building and guiding specialised engineering teams. Entrepreneurial drive - proven ability to identify market opportunities and deliver innovative solutions. My technical foundation spans analog/digital design, advanced PCB layout, embedded systems, and modern manufacturing processes. But what truly drives me is transforming complex technical challenges into elegant, manufacturable products that solve real-world problems.
