Real Time with… IPC APEX EXPO 2022: Flexible Circuit Technologies: Rigid-Flex Specialists Moyer: I have over 30 years of experience in board design across multiple market segments. I spent about 10 years of my career doing high- precision sensors and very low voltage along with their associated signal conditioning. I had another 10 years in factory automation and industrial controls, such as elevator control systems, and another 10 years in military aero- space, where I got to work on some really cool space and military systems. Part of that time, I worked at Blue Origin for a year, working on the crew module. ey just took William Shat- ner, Captain Kirk, up into space, so I got to work on that module. Matties: at's exciting. Moyer: Yes. ere's also stuff that's gone to Mars, stuff that's in orbit right now and stuff that's deployed that I can't talk about. Matties: Great. Well, Kris, we certainly appre- ciate your time today and your insights. Moyer: ank you so much. FLEX007
