Clive Robinson's career has focused on ASICs, quality systems and microsystems. After graduating he joined the Space Systems Group in Ferranti where he became responsible for the design reliability of satellite navigation systems. Clive then moved to a design consultancy in Edinburgh where he worked with a range of technologies, including full custom ASICs and sensors. As well as design, he was responsible for subcontracted fabrication, assembly and test.

In 1991 Clive set up a consultancy to help companies benefit from microelectronics. A few years later the UK Government adopted many of the ideas into the Microelectronics in Business programme and appointed Clive as a Business Advisor covering Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Clive is the author of several papers on both the technical and commercial aspects of microelectronics. He has worked on standards bodies trying to harmonise the ASIC design process and is on the European Commission's list of experts for work in technology transfer involving ASICs. He is a founder member of the UK's Semiconductor Business Association and has established benchmarking guidelines for the members.
