Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClaus Hetzer is a Senior Research and Development Engineer with over 10 years applying signal processing, infrasound sensing, and field-deployable systems at university research centers. Based in Tempe, he combines expert C++, Perl, and Matlab programming with hands-on Linux administration and hardware work—soldering, cable construction, and array installations—making him a true utility infielder for complex field campaigns. His career spans long-term roles at the University of Mississippi and prior geophysics and acoustics work at the University of Hawaii, where he integrated data systems with research workflows. Known as an "infrasound code monkey and Swiss army knife," he pairs deep domain knowledge with practical engineering to move projects from sensor to publication. Unusually for an engineer, he blends extensive fieldcraft with academic writing and report production, bridging experiment execution and scientific communication.
