Lee Devlin, P.E.’s Summary
♦ Lee Devlin: Electrical & Mechanical Design │ Systems Architecture │ Project Management
♦ INDUSTRIES: Computer hardware and software
♦ LOCATION: Greeley, Colorado
Why I am on LinkedIn:
I am seeking opportunities that require engineering and project managment skills in technology-related fields. I have a versatile and multi-disciplined engineering background along with more than 20 years of experience in new product development that involved fast-paced schedules and challenging design goals.
My experience includes many examples of initiating and introducing innovative product categories for HP such as digital entertainment products and networked storage products for the home. I've worked on all aspects of products design including mechanical, electrical, and software programs.
I am currently self-employed as an independent engineering consultant but still open to the possibility of joining a company. I am interested in product design.
I live in Northern Colorado and would prefer to stay in commuting distance of this region but would also be willing to join a company where I could telecommute.
