Controltek Hires Engineering Business Manager Dennis Frey
December 7, 2018 | ControlTekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Electronics manufacturing and design provider ControlTek has recently hired Dennis Frey as the company’s new engineering business manager.
Frey will be tasked with ensuring positive interactions between customers and the design team, ensuring timely communication throughout engagements and interacting internally with ControlTek’s design, manufacturing and program management teams to ensure projects are completed on time.
“What really sets ControlTek apart is their focus on quality,” Frey said. “Whether it's design, manufacturing, or test, each aspect of a project goes through rigorous processes to ensure all requirements and industry standards are met.
“This extends to the customer as well. I am excited for the opportunity to partner with them and with our internal teams to make sure that their goals and needs are met.”
Frey comes to ControlTek with over a decade of engineering and project management experience following a degree in Electrical Engineering from UC San Diego. His previous work experience has spanned both product design and project management roles within highly technical industries including transportation, semiconductor and mobile wireless.
Over the past 47 years, ControlTek has built a strong reputation in the EMS industry that’s characterized by a sharp focus on meeting customer needs. The Engineering Business Manager role is designed to continue growing partnerships with ControlTek’s engineering customers.
“We saw an opportunity to better meet customer needs with this new Engineering Business Manager role,” says ControlTek President Andy LaFrazia.
“Our commitment to constant improvement doesn’t stop with our manufacturing or design processes; it also means putting the right team in place to help us partner with customers. We believe Dennis is the right person to help us do that.”

Podcast Review: On the Line With… Designing for Reality
05/09/2024 | Duane Benson, Positive Edge LLCAs a technologist, if I were forced to come up with just one recurring theme that I might call a professional “nemesis,” it would be the difference between theory and reality. A lot of technology we have at our disposal works well in theory but falls short when reality hits. That’s not the only reason I chose to listen to and review On the Line With… Designing for Reality, featuring a series of conversations with ASC Sunstone’s Matt Stevenson, but it certainly helped that the title caught my eye.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
