W. Kurt Dobson, CEO

Mr. Dobson’s has spent the last 3 years consulting with two major automotive manufacturers' race engine development programs solving difficult problems in engine modeling, nonlinear optimization and computational fluid and gas dynamics problems.  It was from this work that the automatic tubing design software evolved.  

Mr. Dobson has an engineering background primarily in the high-tech arena which has included wireless semiconductor development serving as GM of the High Speed Wireless business unit of Micro Linear Corporation (NASDAQ: MLIN), as well as several entrepreneurial startups. Mr. Dobson also served positions as Vice President of New Business Initiatives & Advanced Development for U.S. Robotics and 3COM Corporation and was responsible for core technology development for emerging markets in broadband, wireless, home networking and chaired the U.S. and International patent committees.  

Mr. Dobson has authored 52 patents and many articles in the high-technology field and has consulted for several prominent Venture Capital firms. Mr. Dobson was awarded the IEEE Engineer of the Year award in 1998 by the IEEE Utah Chapter and was also nominated for Utah Engineer of the Year by the Utah Engineering Society the same year  Mr. Dobson has served as an Adjunct Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Utah, and is also a member of the Centers of Excellence Advisory Board at Utah State University.
