Summary
Stephen Byrne is an experienced engineering executive with a nearly three-decade track record designing and delivering high-reliability avionics and power-electronics systems, now serving as Vice President of Engineering at Avionic Instruments. He has progressed from FPGA and digital-board design to leading multi-disciplinary teams of 40+ engineers, overseeing FPGA/ASIC, mixed-signal, mechanical, software, and DO-254/178 safety-certified development. Known for translating deep technical expertise into program-level strategy, he has repeatedly shipped mission-critical products for aerospace and defense customers. Based in the New York City area, he balances hands-on hardware/firmware roots with executive leadership in product development and sustaining engineering. A pragmatic innovator, he brings both academic rigor (BE in Electrical/Computer Engineering, 3.75 GPA) and long-term continuity across complex, regulated systems. Less obvious: his background spans the full lifecycle from circuit layout and HDL to certification processes, making him fluent in both implementation detail and compliance-driven program delivery.
