Hello,
While working at Quallion, I have realized that one of my strengths is in
team building, communication, and knowledge transfer. The references from
my client's customers can attest to this
Thank you for your consideration,
Scot Stockton
I've worked with Mr. Stockton for a bit more than a year now and I'm very
pleased with the work he has done. Mr. Stockton is a very knowledgeable
person in the electronics field. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to
work with him because thanks to his passion, dedication, and years of
experience our project was able to move forward with a more efficient
design. Credit for this success was due in part to his technical leadership
skills - he was always on top of situations to make sure they were
addressed by the supplier. Also making sure things were being done per the
design really contributed a lot to our product. He was able to hold the
high-level vision while tracking the important details, and so was able to
point out problems in the design and provide solutions or different
approaches that were a big plus in the process. He is a very meticulous
person and thanks to this strength we were able to attend to items that
might have been overlooked at the beginning of the project. I know Mr.
Stockton will be a great asset to anyone. Thanks Scot!

(in my other life, I'm the [Program] FPGA management 'guru ), and
I'm not seeing any issues that concern me ... I do appreciate your (and
Quallion's) quick responsiveness!"

"[Protection registers are] a great feature that I did not expect to be
included in the battery functionality. It would seem that due to this and
[a mechanical feature] that the [battery] itself has two levels of
protection You guys are making my life easy
Arthur G. Birchenough, Analux Corp (NASA reviewing consultant)
"It has been a great pleasure to report too and work alongside a talented
engineer such as Scot. I reported directly to Scot in the design of an FPGA
that served as the communication to a Li-Ion based Battery Unit. Scots
integrated knowledge of Analog as well as Digital electronics allowed for
us to quickly develop the communication protocol, analog telemetry and all
the design requirements that allowed for rapid prototyping and ultimate
delivery of a flight worthy FPGA. Scot is extremely competent and I highly
recommend and hope to work with him in the near future."
