Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Thoren is a System Design Architecture Engineer with roughly two decades of experience designing and supporting data converter and mixed-signal systems from Milpitas, California. He blends hands-on hardware intuition born from a lifetime of taking things apart with deep technical mentorship and customer-facing support, having authored training and tools that help engineers evaluate converters more meaningfully. At Linear Technology/Analog Devices he conceived and maintains LinearLabTools, a practical Python/Matlab toolkit that exposes evaluation boards via a simple API and includes educational utilities like a “Deconstructed FFT.” Trained in bio-resource and electrical engineering, he comfortably bridges analog simulation (LTSpice), digital signal processing, and software automation to accelerate product evaluation and application development. Colleagues know him for tackling “whatever needs to be done”—from new product definition to teaching—while enjoying the slightly odd, curiosity-driven approach that yields elegant, pragmatic solutions.
