Dave Armstrong
Director
Advantest


Dave Armstrong received degrees in Electrical, Computer and Environmental Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1974. Following graduation he spent nearly ten years working directly in the semiconductor manufacturing industry including roles in Integrated Circuit Design, Product and Yield Engineering, and Test Engineering. In 1984 he transitioned to an Applications Engineering role in Hewlett-Packard. His initial assignment was the support of all products in the Test-and-Measurement catalog. Soon thereafter he focused his efforts on HP’s (and later Agilent’s) IC Test Group where he remained for more than twenty years. As a Principal Engineer he greatly influenced the design and successful market penetration of a long list of HP/Agilent ATE solutions. In 2004 he moved to Advantest America becoming the Director of Marketing, Product Engineering, and eventually Business Development. In this capacity he works with both customers and Advantest Research and Development in order to define, develop, and deliver creative solutions to the most demanding test challenges.
