Yankee Scientific: The Practice of Ingenuity
Engineering Manager of Electrical and Electronic Systems
Alex Stevenson joined Yankee Scientific in 2003, and has designed control and safety systems in support of DARPA and US Army projects. Most recently, Alex completed the design and implementation of Internet-enabled, high reliability control systems and logic-controlled Automatic Transfer Switches for a family of residential-scale Micro-Combined Heat and Power HVAC products, known as 'freewatt'. These products are currently available for commercial sale. Alex also designed the automated test equipment used in the production of the 'freewatt' control modules.
Previously, Alex was at Intel Corporation and accumulated 14 years experience in Sales and Marketing of Intel's extensive catalog of semiconductor, board, microprocessor development tools and OEM system products. Alex supported the design efforts of many of Intel's largest OEM customers securing 'design wins' at Dell Computer, Sun Microsystems, EMC, ModComp, Lucent, Compaq Computer, Hewlett-Packard, and many others.
As a new grad, Alex joined computer maker Prime Computer, Inc. doing digital hardware and systems design, software and microcode development, hardware architecture analysis, and Engineering Management over a 14 year tenure.
After 14 years at Intel, Alex wanted to return to the excitement and intellectual challenges of designing embedded microcontroller and DSP-based solutions. In addition to his broad Computer Engineering skills, he has a passion for mechanical and automotive technologies. Alex holds five US Patents in the areas of digital archival storage, digital audio, and DSP-based musical instrument audio processing. Alex received his Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Massachusetts in 1978.
Alex is a longtime rock musician in his spare time.
