Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Vedder is a retired electrical engineer with 11 years of focused experience designing high-performance storage and motor-control electronics, having played a pivotal hardware role in scaling Seagate’s Enterprise SSD business from inception to multi-million dollar success. He combines deep analog and digital circuit expertise—circuit card design, signal and power integrity, failure analysis—and hands-on lab automation skills using Python, C, and scripting to accelerate verification and manufacturing. At Seagate he led cross-disciplinary teams, authored firmware for MCU-based power-loss protection, developed Monte Carlo simulators for control-loop validation, and contributed to industry SSD form-factor standards. Equally comfortable in the lab and at the system architecture level, he has a track record of turning thorny silicon and regulator issues into production-ready solutions and designing reusable FPGA and test platforms. Now retired in Shrewsbury, MA, he continues to tinker with microcontrollers and small embedded projects, bringing practical, production-proven judgment to hobbyist work.
