Brian Watson, Founder and CEO of HyRel Technologies, Peoria, Arizona, has been appointed VP of Marketing for the SMTA Arizona/Sonora Chapter. The Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) is a global non-profit professional organization dedicated to the advancement of the electronics manufacturing industry.
In addition to marketing the offerings and benefits of the Arizona Chapter, Brian adds that “My focus will be on growing the student chapter and community membership.”
At HyRel, Brian sponsors internships for high school students preparing for college in engineering studies. Hyrel’s Internship Program and Student Engagement, he says, “Is something that separates us from probably 99.5% of everyone else.” He adds, “We are still the only semiconductor company in the Phoenix Valley with all the real semiconductor activity going on. We’re working directly with the high schools and giving kids hands-on experience.”
