While Hoa has been with OK International for years, he's been driving the many new innovations you're seeing in 2017 and beyond. It seems like a great time for Metcal fans to learn more about him!

Talk about experience. Hoa has over 23 years experience in Embedded System design across all major platforms, and real-time device integration for a wide range of products from gas analyzer, fume extractor, singular-plural fluid dispenser, soldering iron and robotic to satellite switcher, ionizer, RFID, data acquisition, digital cameras, solid-state drives and more. He's had to design and build to meet compliance requirements such as RoHS, REACH, UL, CSA, CE, etc.

In that work, Hoa has designed and implemented device drivers, software structure and architecture from a low-level assembly to high-level Object Oriented Programming languages for a variety of Microprocessors such as ARM Cortex-A7/8/9, Intel Atom E3825 CPU, Motorola 68HC05/11, PIC12/16/18 and PIC32MX/MZ.  He always utilized the latest and greatest technology to ensure all new products complied with IoT/Industrial 4.0 regulation, which is going to be a big theme for Metcal and OK International this year!

Hoa holds a host of impressive credentials, including:

  • Double major in EE, CS degrees and is an EECS Industry Advisory Board member at University of California, Irvine

  • World Federation of National Mathematics Partition 

  • ESDA S20.20 Sub-committee member

Hoa enjoys working closely with customers to learn about their applications and challenge, as well his colleagues throughout Europe, Asia and North America.

Hoa's family currently resides in Santa Ana California. He has a daughter, who is a member of Women's Gymnastics at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her major is in Molecular and Cellular Biology. She will be taking the MCAT Exam in 2019, so you can see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
