Steven K. Lang, Ph.DSteven K. Lang, Ph.D

Steven K. Lang, Ph.D, a staff systems engineer at Intel Corporation in DuPont, Washington, specializes in providing system-level design and validation training of workstations and servers.

Lang's responsibilities include educating the customer through seminars and on-site training with content creation and delivery of system-level design issues. He is also responsible for managing the development of customer reference systems providing customers with insight and guidance on how to design platforms to support Intel’s next generation processors and chipsets. This type of system-level support has received high visibility as U.S. multinational corporations continue to outsource their production and designs to companies in Taiwan and China. As the Asia Pacific region continues to be the world’s fastest growing consumer market, a significant amount of importance has been placed on designing and producing products close to the end user. Planning and successful execution of these activities are crucial to the competitiveness of U.S. information technology industry.
