Jeremy Willden
Director
Professional Highlights:
• 20 year professional career in electronic design and development, deep experience in
designing for manufacturing
• Embedded hardware, firmware, network software, and analog hardware
• Proven track record of high quality systems design
• Co-development of products and the manufacturing test systems to produce them, giving highly effective and reproducible production
Career Summary:
An insightful and experienced engineer with a powerful mixture of broad and focused skill sets make Jeremy an asset to any organization. He anticipates many problems early in the design process, saving substantial time and money. While very organized and methodical, he works very quickly, creating quality products on a budget. His five years with National Instruments, the maker of LabVIEW software and measurement hardware, ranged from complex analog and digital mixed-signal designs, to managing the Oscilloscopes engineering group, to presenting new technologies to thousands of investors, industry analysts, and customers at the annual NI Week convention. He designed a patented hardware platform that allowed unprecedented re-use
of high-speed analog and digital data acquisition systems. The architectures he created are still used today for all of the high-performance electronic instruments made by NI.
After joining MaxStream, he took on the task of creating a completely new manufacturing calibration and test system. The old system was a production bottleneck, limiting the growth of the company because the products could not be manufactured fast enough. Jeremy wrote the software and took a large role in all other aspects of the design, increasing typical throughput of the system by a factor of ten. The ability of the company to produce high-quality products in such high volume was a key factor in the acquisition of MaxStream by Digi International.
At Ad Hoc Electronics, in addition to the many varied duties that come with a small startup company, Jeremy created firmware for most of the products made by the company. By creating flexible and well-documented software architectures, addition of new features is streamlined and regression testing burden is reduced. More than one of these architectures has been so long-lived that it has been possible to scale it beyond the capacity of the currently available hardware without a re-write. He holds a BSEE degree (1998) from Brigham Young University and holds several patents, with more pending.
Jeremy co-founded Constellation Labs to serve the numerous requests for project design assistance. The projects come purely by referral, no marketing has been necessary to continue growing.

Helaman Ferguson
Helaman has been professionally programming since 1986. From his time at WordPerfect / Novell he wrote the GroupWise internet agent when the internet was in its infancy. He is very familiar with TCP/IP and many internet protocols. Also he created shared code libraries used by the whole team. At AlphaSmart, Inc. he developed the Dana and the AlphaSmart Neo both of which are embedded devices used primarily in education. He also wrote a USB host stack and interfaced a WiFi module on the Dana which ran PalmOS. At the leading wireless module company he created many new and innovative wireless modems including one with RF Ethernet bridging. His contributions to the hardware design helped reduce costs and streamline manufacturing. He architected the firmware such that shared code was able to be leveraged from one design to the next.
Helaman enjoys skiing, boating and biking in the silicon slopes area with his family.
