Summary
Jone Lay is a Principal Systems Engineer based in Boulder with 14 years of hands-on experience designing multidisciplinary hardware and embedded systems. He co-founded Boulder Engineering Studio and led projects spanning aircraft navigation, microelectronic smart-pills, machine vision for water treatment, and rugged consumer devices—demonstrating rare breadth from PCB design and embedded Linux to mechanical fabrication. Comfortable owning the whole stack, he combines practical engineering (prototyping, testing, manufacturing) with systems-level thinking and has experience shepherding inventions from idea to patent. His background blends an MS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, enabling fluid collaboration across electrical, mechanical, and software domains. Colleagues value him for tackling ambiguous problems where hardware-software integration and manufacturability matter most. Now at Ingenuity Design Group, he continues to focus on complex device development that requires both deep technical craft and product-minded pragmatism.
