Alejandro De La Fuente V is a director-level engineering leader with 11 years of experience translating semiconductor and flexible-electronics research into mass-manufactured products. With a PhD in EE from UC Berkeley, he blends deep device-physics and thin-film expertise with hands-on manufacturing know-how—from pilot cleanrooms to global supply chains and vendor networks. He has led teams at Intuitive and Merlin/GT, built factory operations in Thailand, and owned end-to-end process development for novel thin-film semiconductor production. As a founder he shipped a consumer wearable via Kickstarter, pairing product design, low-power embedded firmware, and go-to-market testing—demonstrating rare breadth across R&D, product, and business. Based in San Carlos, CA, he’s particularly focused on novel hardware that improves human interaction with technology and smarter medical sensors. A pragmatic collaborator, he often bridges academics, vendors, and manufacturing to move high-risk technologies into reliable production.
