What do you like about working at Tensentric?

Being able to do a little bit of everything from hardware design to software and systems engineering. I enjoy working with other Tensentric engineers that have such a wide variety of multi-disciplinary knowledge and interests.

What’s the most interesting project you’ve worked on and why?

The Automated Oligonucleotide DNA Synthesis Technology Platform.  The project’s short timeline required every person on the project to work as fast as possible while making real-time collaborative adjustments to the design to meet the delivery date.  I had the opportunity to design 143 custom printed circuit boards and 338 custom cable assemblies for each system build as well as participate in the fluidic and thermal system design.

What unique set of skills do you bring to Tensentric?

I’ve done a little bit of everything, EE, ME, SW and can see other people’s viewpoint. I have an ability to bridge disciplines.
