Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Kotson is a senior electrical system architect and technical staff technologist with over two decades of experience designing rugged and hyperscale x86 platforms for AI, HPC, storage and mobile computing. He has led architecture and product development at Dell, AMD, ZT Systems and multiple defense and embedded specialists, driving platform strategy, signal and power integrity, BIOS/UEFI, and cross-functional tradeoffs for designs that have supported multi-billion dollar product lines. Known for bridging low-level hardware detail with long-term technology roadmaps, he has repeatedly taken concepts from high-speed simulation and PCB floor-planning through validation and manufacturing handoff. His background includes defense-grade rugged systems and commercial workstations, giving him uncommon depth across MIL-spec and hyperscale datacenter requirements. Based in Austin with a BSEE from Colorado State University, he pairs hands-on engineering with technical management to deliver custom solutions for Fortune 100 clients. A practical systems thinker, he often surfaces non-obvious tradeoffs between thermal, signal integrity, and firmware that materially improve platform reliability and time-to-market.
