Summary
Louis Mccarthy is a project manager and seasoned product development leader with 12+ years converting R&D into commercial products at Brewer Science, currently overseeing internal product development and design transfers. He blends hands-on embedded and full-stack engineering experience—firmware (PIC, MSP430), embedded Linux/Yocto, Qt/C++, and electrical/mechanical CAD—with practical knowledge of materials and regulatory compliance. Louis has led a 40-person transition from research to product-driven teams, hiring for experience and managing external manufacturer transfers while balancing short- and long-term customer and roadmap priorities. He brings deep controls and communications expertise (EtherCAT, MODBUS, CAN, RS-232/485) and a track record of shipping hardware-software systems including drivers, real‑time I/O, and HMI. Based in Rolla, Missouri, he leverages a Computer Engineering degree and a rare cross-discipline fluency—spanning PCB layout to additive manufacturing—to de-risk innovation and accelerate scale-up. Colleagues value his pragmatic approach to turning prototypes into auditable, compliant products.
