ABOUT BRIAN OCHOA
Global engineering leader with 20+ years of experience, currently operating at a Director-level scope as head of Fluke’s Global Mechanical Engineering organization (20 leaders & engineers). I support a multi-billion-dollar product portfolio spanning product families plus all NPIs, driving innovation and organizational transformation across global R&D.I’ve structured organizations (career frameworks, knowledge transfer systems), implemented system-level design reviews to strengthen Agile Program Management, and led policy deployment to improve cross-functional delivery for enterprise programs. I’ve also co-led Innovation Days, championed AI in engineering (simulation & automation), and in 2024 directed the technical integration of Solentric. Additionally, I contributed to establishing Fluke’s new R&D facility in Poland, focusing on structuring and leading the mechanical engineering function in Europe.Before formal management, I led research groups in sensors, HPHT systems, and downhole technologies—early experiences that shaped my ability to deliver in demanding technical and business environments.I believe a company’s greatest asset is its people. My leadership philosophy centers on empowering teams to innovate, grow, and consistently deliver results—even in the most challenging circumstances.Specialties: Director of Engineering • R&D Strategy • Global Team Leadership • NPI/NPD • Systems Engineering & Design Reviews • DFM/DFA • MBSE/PLM • Simulation/FEA • Test & Measurement • Calibration/Metrology • Policy Deployment (Hoshin) • Knowledge Management • AI in Engineering • Cross-Functional Program Leadership
