Software Engineering Team Expanded

October, 2022 – IT Manager Bob Magyar has announced the appointment of Kelly Jiang as Software Engineer. The position has a broad portfolio, including evaluation of new PCB designs and software interfaces and, more immediately, the final testing of Bowman’s eagerly anticipated software release.

Among the software’s most notable features is its ability to simultaneously measure and analyze. “Analysis follows computation immediately – and automatically,” says Jiang. “In this new release, the efficiency and stability of data transfers will be optimized – a huge advantage for customers with complex workflows.”

The software release will also benefit Bowman internally, suggests Jiang. “Application engineers creating new standards, production engineers in assembly, and technicians doing calibration will all experience functional and time-saving benefits with this release.”
