Kirk comes to us from HP, where he had spent a couple of tours before coming to Semtek. While at HP, Kirk was a lead engineer and engineering manager for HP's printer division (low-cost multi-function peripheral architect), developing a reputation as one of that firm's top trouble shooters. He has deep experience in the development of sophisticated ASICS and has served as both trainer and mentor to a long line of HP engineers. At Semtek, Kirk is our lead hardware architect, making sure there is design collaboration and seamlessness across our product lines. He continues in his role as chief troubleshooter, bringing enormous creativity and new perspectives on how to best build highly secure payment hardware. |
