About James Kronrod

Senior Staff / Principal Engineer and Senior Manager As a highly experienced hardware architect with a strong working knowledge of signal integrity and thermal issues, I ensure the design is done right the first time. As a manager, I take complex projects from concept to proof-of-concept to production, facilitating collaboration between multiple teams and disciplines. Projects have included an award-winning professional high dynamic range video display that gives movie studios and broadcasters the ability to produce Dolby Vision content, an experimental laser diode array, and various Ethernet switches.• Complex system level hardware design and architecture• Extensive experience with video monitor displays• Electrical engineering management• Technical lead and principal engineer• Circuit simulation, PCB design and debugging• Hands on lab bring-up and design validation• Power subsystems and thermal transport systems• External vendor and manufacturing oversight• SI, PI, EMI and ESD analysis and troubleshooting• Sensors including anemometer, current, pH, Hall effect, and thermal• Rapid prototype development• Thermal Imaging and data analysis for physiological and electronic applicationsAwards and Patents:2019 Advanced Imaging Society Lumiere Award winner (team).2012 Dolby Ideaquest Executive Award, Peer Award and “Most Patentable” Award (team).US Pat.
