Summary
Dustin Klein is a senior systems engineer at John Deere with over a decade of experience developing and supporting diesel engine controls and electrical sensors for off-highway vehicles. He blends hands-on field troubleshooting and dealer support with product development expertise, having led complex sensor projects from concept through production, supplier coordination, and continuous improvement. Trained in applied physics and systems engineering (Caltech certificate), he leverages formal tools like FMEAs and system-level diagrams to create robust hardware and CAN/J1939-compliant solutions. His background in biology and early clinical lab work gives him a practical, human-centered perspective, while a youth spent racing and modifying dirt bikes fuels a persistent curiosity for performance optimization and real-world problem solving.
