Research and Development Manager Bruce Johnson aids in propelling LEDtronics forward with new and innovative product designs. Bruce oversees electronic and mechanical design teams to create custom solutions for clients, as well as design new products to keep the company on the cutting edge of the lighting industry.
In his day-to-day work he interacts with suppliers, customers and other LEDtronics departments to provide support for any issues or obstacles. Bruce also reviews current projects, the status of product testing and evaluates product costs to determine pricing brackets.
Bruce has been with LEDtronics for six years and finds the most fulfillment in training and guiding new engineers in the ways of the lighting industry. “Anybody can design but only an engineer can design in a cost effective and reliable way,” says Bruce.
Bruce’s tech savvy at work also translates at home with his Ham radio hobby. He has his own station and uses his computer to transmit text through radio waves. When it is time for vacation, Bruce and his wife love to travel to exotic destinations like Hawaii, Tahiti and Bora Bora. “French Polynesia is our favorite because it is so unspoiled and clean.”
He also enjoys playing with his three grandchildren, ages 7, 9 and 11. After having sons, Bruce and his wife enjoy having granddaughters. Bruce shares, “I love playing with them and sometimes they help out in the kitchen.” Bruce sees his 11 year marriage, children and grandchildren as the greatest milestones in his life.
