Charlene McCauley has been invited to be a speaker at the PCB West Conference at the Santa Clara Convention Center, CA https://pcbwest.com/ where the session will highlight CAMM2 DDR5.

Charlene has offered design engineering services for over 40 years, with two stints as a small business owner providing ECAD and MCAD services for engineering research, hardware, and manufacturing development. She has 9 years of experience as an instructor and consultant for Dell Technologies and other high-tech companies. She was an Adjunct Professor at Austin Community College teaching PCB design, electrical engineering, and technical drafting. 

Since March 2011, Charlene is owner and president of Cedar Park, Texas based McCauley Design Group, LLC. She leads a team of PCB and mechanical designers that developed the first designs and boards utilizing the next generation DDR computer memory, including Dell CAMM and Calxeda’s EnergyCore ARM Server.

Charlene was employed nine years at Dell, as an ECAD senior-level PCB designer for the Dell 8th through 12th generation rack, tower, blade server, and storage systems. During that time with Dell, she implemented various processes and design procedures, and developed Dell's first ECAD external design services model program.

From 1990 to 1998, Charlene maintained a customer base of 40 businesses while she was president of Production Graphics Co., Inc., and her company provided ECAD and MCAD services for the NASA space shuttle, military aircraft, radars, satellite launch systems, and medical blood analyzer systems.

Before Production Graphics, she worked over 4 years for two different service bureau companies as a CAD supervisor providing mechanical, PCB, and electrical designs for the flight simulator, military, and oil and gas industry, and as a Calay V04/DEC UNIX designer providing PCB designs for multiple US-based companies. In her early years, she worked in the oil and gas industry as a PCB, mechanical, and electrical designer.

Terrie Duffy has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Texas A&M University.  For eight years she worked at Motorola where she wrote data analysis code and installed and maintained the software for probing equipment which included upgrading and maintaining the data collection and networking systems. She then started her home education adventure where Terrie helped organize and run a homeschool cooperative teaching many different science and math classes to all ages.  Her family was active in many scouting type organizations where she led many groups and activities making her an avid outdoor enthusiast.  Terrie continued her college studies at Austin Community College in IC design, technical drafting and PCB design.  Since 2019, she has been working for McCauley Design Group covering a wide range of high-speed board designs.  Her main expertise is in memory modules with extensive work with DDR5 and LPDDR5 technology.  Terrie is currently an Adjunct Professor at Austin Community College teaching PCB design.
