Renkus-Heinz has appointed Sebastian Rivas as Software Development & Research Engineer, to work closely with Chief Technology Officer Ralph Heinz and Engineering Manager Chad DeFranco.
Rivas joins the Renkus-Heinz team as the company completed organisational changes, with founder Harro Heinz retiring and appointing Monika Smetona named company President.
‘I had the opportunity to speak with Harro Heinz about the role and found great value in learning about the history of the company and the innovative processes that have put them as the leader in beam steering loudspeaker technology,’ Rivas says. ‘Renkus-Heinz is a leader in the audio solutions industry and I am fortunate to enter the company at a time to contribute to the sound revolution.’
With close to 15 years in the audio/visual industry, Rivas is positioned to advance the company’s audio engineering efforts. Prior to joining Renkus-Heinz, Rivas worked as a professor at St Thomas University, 2D Software Developer at Sensey Electronics in Mexico, and at Danley Sound Labs developing the Direct Sound System modeling software.
‘Sebastian’s talent and ambition in the audio industry made him the best candidate for the role,’ Ralph Heinz says. ‘I know he will be a huge asset to the Renkus-Heinz team and look forward to working with him to advance the Sound Solution.’
‘The addition of Sebastian to our team will advance our software algorithms to generate FIR filters that will ultimately enhance the overall sound of our audio solutions,’ DeFranco adds.
