Jason Reeves began his career with Entech in 1993 as a radio tradesman, working on high-end metal detectors and HF radio testing and calibration. In 1997, he progressed to Production and Test Manager while completing an Advanced Diploma of Business. Following his promotion to Sales Manager in 2006, Jason completed a degree in Marketing.

Over more than three decades in electronics manufacturing, Jason has seen many innovative products struggle due to high production costs, poor planning, and design decisions made under time-to-market pressure. These experiences shaped his passion for Design for Manufacture (DFM) and his belief that better collaboration between engineering and manufacturing is critical to commercial success.
