Renkus-Heinz has recruited two new team members to its production and engineering departments. Joe Kaveney assumes the role of Industrial Engineering Manager and Andrew Gizara joins as Electrical Engineer.
Kaveney brings a engineering expertise and a love of music to his new role with a career that pans earning a US patent in the solar industry to implementing approved processes in the aerospace sector. Alongside his professional accomplishments, Kaveney’s passion for music includes playing instruments, producing live events, and building interactive art installations.
‘I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to leverage my passion for music and sound with my professional experience in process design and efficiency,’ Kaveney says. ‘It is my pleasure to assist with the industrialization of our business by establishing a robust fabrication process with an optimised supply chain – ultimately resulting in a truly lossless pro-audio experience from raw material to consumer.’
A prolific inventor with a portfolio of more than 20 US and foreign patents, Gizara’s career includes decades in the fields of scientific instrumentation, AI, computers, networking/telephony, ICs and aerospace. The move to Renkus-Heinz marks Gizara’s return to his passion for audio electronics, where his fascination began in his early teens through experimenting with and building loudspeakers, amplifiers, mixers and music synthesisers. Beyond his engineering prowess, his creative side is served through playing piano, violin and synthesisers, and recording his own compositions that blend jazz with electronic music.
‘I am thrilled to join a leading company in a competitive field providing products that I have always held great passion for building and actively experimenting with,’ he says. ‘It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to continue to further the development of such an innovative and pioneering enterprise.’
Kaveney will work with Operations VP Jim Mobley to optimise the production process, while Gizara will work with Engineering Manager Chad DeFranco in product design and development.
‘I’m delighted to welcome Joe and Andrew to the team,’ DeFranco says. ‘They are both incredibly passionate about what we do, and their experience in their respective fields will be a great benefit to our family. Joe is highly qualified, and his understanding of industrial processes across various industries will enable us to continue to improve our manufacturing, while Andrew brings with him a background in modern electronics hardware design with an amazing record of innovation. We’re lucky to have them both.’
