I am now working at Rockford Fosgate in Tempe, Arizona (the Phoenix area).
You are all welcome to come visit the office and I will give you a personal tour and show you all the amazing things.
Please send me a PM on here to arrange a day/time.
This offer stands so long as I am employed here.

Wow, nice to know we have people on the inside. Thanks for the open invitation.
:thumbup:
I’d take you up on that but I’m 1000 miles away. :mad: What kind of position did you get there? I personally like the RF higher end amplifiers.
We have friends in Prescott, next time we're out that way to visit I might have to work this in the schedule, very generous offer!
I have been on this tour (with Justin)....It is pretty cool! The stuff they have in there is stuff that every car audio person would love to personally have in their garage!
My official title is Acoustic Design Engineer and I'm doing a bit of everything: transducer design, creating custom dsp solutions and tuning vehicles/systems with multi-mic arrays, supporting our team with Klippel measurements, collaborating with the embedded and software and amplifier teams as a system architect, and very soon I will be teaching an internal Loudspeakers 101 class for our big wave of new hires at the office. I'm also super excited about the loudspeaker/crossover/enclosure simulation tool I made that I've been trying to finish for many years ... thank you Penn State acoustics courses!

Didn’t you used to work for Eminence speaker or was that someone else?
Yes that was me! My avatar picture on the left was from my office there, testing a new batch of voice coils. I worked at Eminence for a year and a half before moving to Arizona to work with Rockford.
Feel free to ask questions about either, I love this stuff.
That sounds like a really cool job. I worked for 12 years at Harman Automotive (JBL, Infinity, Mark Levinson programs for the Automotive OEMs.) I was an embedded software engineer covering speech recognition and Bluetooth mainly. Since 2011, I've worked at GM, first being the PM for speech recognition, and more recently being the PM for Navigation for our latest Infotainment system. Sometimes I get to see some really cool products under development years before they hit the market.
If I am ever in the Phoenix area, I will definitely inquire about getting a tour from you.
Very cool! I would enjoy meeting and showing you around sometime.
A gentle reminder that this tour is still available.
A couple people have visited at it was a ton of fun.
Might have to hit you up on the offer! Back around 2009-2011, I was working at Mitek with the MTX and Xtant lines as technical support.
Thank you to a certain someone for asking for a tour and I look forward to meeting you later this month.
Offer still stands, tour anytime! Just send me a pm.
I had an interview there many years ago for a SMT Process Engineer back when they still built amps and stuff there. Unfortunately the pay was too low, or maybe fortunately since I would have lost the job anyway at some point when they moved all of the production over seas. I used to work right down the street from that place back in the mid 90's. That was still when PPI, MTX, and Orion were still all here in Phoenix.
Isnt MTX still on Baseline Rd?Quote:
