Steve Oxenberg:  

Life Steve began his engineering career in 1973 at IBM designing complex anti-submarine detection systems using sophisticated custom digital signal processing hardware. That same hardware was later used in Vietnam and the Middle East to track troop and tank movement over land. In 1978, Steve entered the industrial controls market at Fischer & Porter where he developed the world’s first prototype model for a paperless industrial recorder. That concept was a decade ahead of other technologies and won a British government award for innovative products. Starting in 1980, Steve began his 16-year career with Honeywell developing industrial chart recorders, sensors, control system I/O modules, and communication tools. Steve is often referred to by his peers as the “father of digital integration” for his early contribution to the digital integration of control systems with field sensors. Steve applied innovative communication technology in a manner that did not add cost and yet survived the harsh electrical environment of heavy industrial manufacturing plants. Steve is the inventor on two U.S. patents relating to the Honeywell Digitally Enhanced communication protocol. Fifteen years later, that same communication protocol survived the new millennium unchanged and now enjoys the largest installed base of all industrial field communication protocols combined. In the late 80’s Steve redirected his career to benefit newborn infants at Air Shields Vickers. Steve directed the engineering R&D department and led the development of neonatal intensive care equipment. He championed change management activities and personally administered team-based motivational training. Steve’s efforts led to the development of six new medical device product lines, the largest new product development in the history of th...Expand for more
