Bio
Michael Chaggaris
I've worked with Steve at Nextest for just under three years. Steve is an insightful engineer, that uses his knowledge of ATE and Mixed-Signal Test and Measurement to solve many complex test issues. He is very sales-aware, and is just the guy for those all-important customer presentations, customer demonstrations and for working on customer issues. He is also a great instructor, having taken over responsibly for the Maverick Lightning training classes. He has the patience to explain those complicated subjects to his students in a way that does not overwhelm them. Steve is a great engineer, a teacher, a former co-worker, and a good friend. I miss working with him.

I have worked with Steve at both Tektronix and Credence, from when he was in service through training, field applications and applications management. I have always relied on him as a valuable resource in helping me support my customers, he always responded to my questions and customer needs in a timely and effective manner. Steve is an excellent applications engineer and manager with a deep and varied knowledge in semiconductor mixed signal testing based on years of experience, I would highly recommend him for any technical or management position.
