Today, in the age of customization, customers demand high-performance products that are tailored specifically to their personal application. One way to meet this need is to design architectures that can be customized and manufactured to include custom geometries and features. I will provide an algorithmic approach that allows you to provide the best solution to the specific and evolving needs of your customer at minimum cost per custom design.

Dr. Hobbs loves to learn, make, and teach. Doc Hobbs has a BA in Liberal Arts from Saint Mary’s College, a BS in Mechanical Engineering from USC, and a MS and Ph.D. in MEMs Design from UC Berkeley. He has filed over 30 patents with the USPTO while successfully designing and launched 2 new products, Harmony and Matrix, for FormFactor Inc.. Doc Hobbs was most recently the Director of Advanced Technology and is currently on special assignment from the CEO to reduce lead-times of custom probe card products to meet accelerating and demanding lead-time needs in the Semiconductor Markets. Doc Hobbs loves to play in Technical Management, New Product Development, Invention and Intellectual Property, Precision Machine Design, MEMs, Fabrication/Prototyping, Rapid Experimentation, Optimization, and most recently in Corporate Operational Structures and Business Practices. In his spare time, Doc Hobbs loves to race motorcycles (#863 in the AFM) and spend time with his family. When Doc Hobbs grows up he wants to impact the world by leading companies that provide technological solutions that have a positive global impact.
