With Audio Video Bridging (IEEE 802.1) networking one of the hottest topics in pro audio, design resource Lab X Technologies has recruited Chuck Ruffino as an Embedded Digital Engineer.
With 20 years experience in the design/engineering field, Ruffino will help enhance the already skilled Lab X engineers’ development capabilities for hardware and gateway development. His experience spans two decades, starting as an electrical engineer with the Xerox Corporation, where he held various positions over 10 years, including his final position, Technical Specialist. He then became a Principal Engineer for Intrinsix Corporation for two years and moved to Vanteon Corporation for eight years, serving as its Chief Technology Officer, a position he held for two years. ‘While I was surrounded by the design and engineering element at my previous positions, I fell away from the hands-on design aspect,’ he says. ‘At Lab X, I will be able to combine my passion for designing and producing as a technical lead, with client interface in a manager-type role.’
‘We are excited to begin drawing from Chuck’s experience and knowledge in the networking industry to continue augmenting our leading designs,’ says Lab X Technologies President, Lee Minich. ‘I am confident Chuck will help deliver our clients the next generation of elite networking solutions.’
With its extensive experience in applying Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (AVB) networking, Lab X works to design and/or perfect products and solutions, providing complete, turnkey, scalable engineering and design services for even the most complex projects. ‘Lab X Technologies is on the leading edge of IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging, driving the development and implementation of these industry standards,’ Ruffino says. ‘I’m looking forward to working with this exceptional team at this fast-paced, high-energy company.’
