Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Piersel is a Senior Electrical Engineer based in Tucson, Arizona with 10 years of formal experience and a 30+-year career designing complex digital and mixed-signal systems across defense, industrial, avionics, and display industries. At Raytheon he applies seasoned ASIC and system-level design expertise honed at Emerson, where he led ASIC migrations, implemented DFT achieving >98% fault coverage, and cut testing time by over half while reducing noise and power dramatically. His background includes flight-critical hardware at Rockwell Collins and embedded display controllers at Daktronics, giving him a rare blend of RF/FAA compliance, low-power digital design, and production test development. He is especially strong at bridging analog and digital domains for manufacturable ASICs, creating thorough handoff documentation and collaborating with foundries to optimize cost and yield. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he consistently turns legacy designs into lower-cost, lower-power, testable products that scale to production.
