Tony and I worked together on releasing the PXIe-5170R/71R project to manufacturing floor at National Instruments. Tony's unique knowledge in electronics and test software like labview and teststand made it one of the most successful releases to the manufacturing floor. What makes Tony even more unique then most Test Engineer is he would listen and help implement continuous improvement ideas. Tony was not happy unless the floor was happy with being able to test the product efficiently. Along with his efforts with continuous improvement he was also able to deliver as one of the top Test Engineer on the staff. I recommend Tony as an integral part of any Test Engineer team.
