Steve Wood

Steve Wood has worked as an engineer since 1994. Steve began their career at Unisen as an Electronic Engineer, designing the entirety of the electronics hardware and firmware for a consumer model exercise treadmill. Steve then moved to American Magnetics, Inc. in 1995, where they were a Senior Electronic Engineer and designed a 0.8 μm CMOS mixed-signal ASIC for magnetic stripe decoding. In 1999, they became a Senior Electrical Engineer at MagTek and designed a 0.5 μm CMOS mixed-signal ASIC for three-track magnetic stripe decoding. In 2007, they joined VIA Telecom as a Senior Mixed Signal Engineer and designed a class D audio amplifier operating directly from a mobile phone's unfiltered lithium ion (Li+) battery. In 2014, they worked as a Senior Hardware Engineer at Turtle Beach, designing and building an ultrasonic class D amplifier for the hearing-impaired. Steve then moved to Iris Technology as a Senior Electrical Engineer, designing a radiation-hardened mostly discrete parts multi-phase switching input-current ripple-filter for a satellite. In 2016, they joined General Atomics Aeronautical Systems as a Staff Engineer, designing circuitry and precision high-speed PCB layout of BLDC servo-motor miniaturized driver avionics. In 2019, they worked at both Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc. and Quantum Design. At Axonics, they were a Senior Electrical Engineer and designed primary-cell-operated remote control circuitry and an implantable RF-controlled medical device. At Quantum Design, they were an Electronics Engineer and troubleshot an existing design of an electron microscope piezo-electric servo drive. Currently, they are an Analog Engineer at A2e Technologies.

Steve Wood began their educational journey in 1983 at Louisiana Tech University where they earned a degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in 1990. In 1991, they attended the University of Colorado Boulder and completed 24 credit hours of upper division mathematics and 13 hours of French studies. From 1998 to present, Steve Wood has taken a number of short courses in CMOS Analog Design Graduate Course at California State University, Long Beach and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits for Mixed Signal at University of California, Berkeley.
