David Plant

David Plant is currently the VP of Fusion Demonstration Plant at General Fusion. Prior to this, they were a Sr. Electrical Engineer at Eastman Kodak from January 2005 to December 2010. There, they designed power electronics, instrumentation, and imaging electronics for Kodak's printing plate imaging equipment. David also drove reliability of imaging systems by conducting root cause analysis of returned field failures and production screening failures, and then saw through the redesign and implementation of improvements. In addition, David Plant designed new product architecture.

Before their time at Eastman Kodak, David Plant was a Production Engineer/Electrical Engineer at Creo from January 1996 to December 2005. There, they shepherded several electro/mechanical/optical systems from product development to continuous manufacturing. David also designed dense, high power electronic systems, imaging electronics, and optical instrumentation electronics. Furthermore, David Plant designed, prototyped, and drove to production several cost sensitive, high density switching power supplies - some of which were high current / ultra low ripple circuits for driving large (40-60W) semiconductor lasers. Lastly, they laid out PCBs for dense switching power supplies with significant thermal management and mixed signal issues; and they continuously and aggressively pushed the reliability of Creo's imaging products through detailed analysis of field returns.

David Plant has a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Victoria and a DiplT in Mechanical Engineering from the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

They work with Michael W. Cappello - SVP, Prototype Deployment, Ryan Guerrero - Chief Technology Officer, and Megan Wilson - Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer. David Plant reports to Greg Twinney, CEO.
