An engineering practice built around one goal: test systems that produce results your organization can trust.
Eric Beaty is a founder and principal applications engineer with EB Engineering, focused on engineering software, test automation, instrument integration, and production-ready test systems. His work spans the boundary between hardware, software, and customer requirements, with an emphasis on reliable systems and trustworthy test results.
