Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMike Jackson was a veteran PCB design engineer and manager with over two decades designing high-density, mixed-signal and RF PCBs for consumer devices, including leadership roles on Surface and BlackBerry hardware teams. He combined deep transmission-line and stackup expertise (350 µm BGAs, HDI/ELIC) with end-to-end product-cycle experience from feasibility through volume production, DFX and vendor negotiation. At Microsoft he led Surface PCB engineering efforts; his open-source work spans impactful contributions to Chromium and Chrome DevTools, improving navigation confidence metrics and DevTools network UX. Known for pragmatic tool selection and custom tooling when off-the-shelf solutions fell short, he also mentored teams and centralized specialized processes to scale capability. Based in Duvall, WA, he brought a rare mix of hands-on layout skill, systems thinking and cross-functional communication that saved schedule and enabled complex product releases.
