Summary
Darrin Kohn is an engineering executive with over three decades of hands-on experience spanning circuit design, embedded C development, PCB layout, and end-to-end electronics manufacturing as Vice President of Engineering and Operations at Pinnacle Systems. He blends deep analog and digital circuit expertise with practical factory management—setting up SMT assembly lines, reflow processes, and production workflows—while also authoring user and installation documentation. A Southern Illinois University-trained electrical engineer and longtime amateur radio operator, he brings a systems-level Design for Manufacturing perspective that reduces time-to-market and improves product reliability. Comfortable moving between bench-level troubleshooting and executive decisions, Darrin is equally fluent in Mentor Graphics tools and real-world production constraints, an uncommon combination that drives both innovation and repeatable manufacturing success.
