Michael Sly is a Staff Engineer - Field Application Engineer at Nordic Semiconductor ASA at Nordic Semiconductor ASA. Colleagues describe him as "Michael is an outstanding Field Application Engineer who constantly challenges himself to solve the most complex customer issues while making himself available on site at a moment's notice. I have always found him to exceed customers’ expectations by providing timely feedback and follow-up. In working with a demanding customer such as Beats he is always quick to address problems, ease customer tensions when their requests often took significant technical investigation time, or when there was a mismatch between requests coming from different Beats entities. Over the past four years I have found Michael to be quite personable to work with since he speaks persuasively and convincingly but is not afraid to say, “I don’t know” and then research an answer. He supports a team work environment based on diversity and inclusiveness, welcoming others’ suggestions and points of view. Once available, Michael was quick to enroll in NPI training for new semiconductor designs to not only get a broad perspective for his own learning, but offered to help others understand the software nuances during off training time. His goal has been to surround himself with other exceptional engineers. Also during the last several years, there has been a shortage of skillful engineers working on V & M based products in the US. While this burden has always fallen on Michael to perform, he has always performed exceptionally, putting customer needs above his own, and being able to prioritize and juggle many customer engineering requests at the same time. I highly recommend Michael to any organization who is looking to gain a world class engineering resource.", "Michael Sly and I have worked together on a large number of projects over the last few years. As Director of Engineering for Fugoo Corporation, I have been responsible for all development activities related to Fugoo's Bluetooth audio products, and Michael has been our support engineer from CSR/Qualcomm throughout this period. As our key interface to a critical supplier, Michael has provided excellent support to our programs, from product road maps, to design reviews to detailed implementation help and software problem resolution. We certainly would not have achieved the level of success we have seen without Michael's help and support. I highly recommend Michael for any type of role requiring dedicated product support, though I am sure he would excel in other roles as well.", and "I have had the pleasure to know and work with Mike for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Mike supported me nearly daily - and always made me look good! The list of high demand, low appreciation clients that Mike supported - nearly 24hrs a day - included a who's who of the consumer electronics and wireless markets: Beats, Vizio, Samsung, Incipio, Braven, Apple, Universal Electronics, and more. While it was my job to reel these big fish in, Mike was there to bring them on the boat, and make the best sushi you have ever had. A consummate professional, Mike was always prompt with his support, available, creative with his solutions, and could be counted on at any time. His approach is direct, easy to get along with, and engaging, which is why he was so well received by so many of these brands - and his colleagues. If I had the chance, I would work with Mike again - plus his sports knowledge is second to none. This recommendation is the easiest I have ever offered."
