Del Hatch is a retired electrical engineer and engineering leader with over three decades of hands-on experience designing digital logic, FPGA/CPLD systems, and consumer/professional electronic products. He built and led cross-functional teams at Dolby and Nokia, driving product development from concept through certification, high-volume manufacturing, and sustaining engineering. Skilled in early cost estimation, schedule development, compliance (FCC/CE/RoHS), and firmware/PCB bring-up, he has a rare blend of deep technical contribution (Verilog, FPGA, power management) and program-level operations. At Nokia he assembled a team and manufacturing partnerships to deliver a cost-sensitive 3D VR camera, and at EaglePicher he led LiPo battery management and power-control designs. Now freelancing from Bainbridge Island, he maintains an active technical footprint via GitHub and a personal projects site, reflecting continued curiosity and practical engineering problem-solving.
