LSC Control Systems Appoints Hugh McDonald As R&D Manager

LSC Control Systems has appointed Hugh McDonald as R&D Manager / Senior Software Engineer, as the Australian manufacturer continues to expand its research and development capabilities.

McDonald joins the company with extensive experience in software engineering and project management across the technology sector. Most recently, he worked in systems engineering and product development at Beam Communications, Australia's satellite communications systems manufacturer. Before that, he spent 18 years at NEC Corporation in a range of software engineering and project management roles.

The appointment is part of LSC's continued investment in product development as it looks to build on more than four decades of innovation in power and control technologies.

Our success is down to an exceptional R&D team, incorporating feedback and insights from all areas of the business."

We warmly welcome Hugh to the team in what is an important leadership role within LSC Control Systems."
