When not immersed in tech, Chris enjoys immersing himself in the ocean... to swim with sharks.

Chris is a Software Engineer, designing robot control software that is robust but easy to use and tailored to our customers’ specific needs.

Before starting with IRH, Chris developed software for both a quantum computing company and an options trading fund, and worked on grant-funded research for Quantum Machine Learning.

Chris holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics with a minor in computer science and received a Masters degree in Physics at just 19 years old (to which we say, Bazinga!).

Chrissy is the Director of Corporate Growth, overseeing Industrial Robot Help's marketing and communications initiatives and driving business growth.

Prior to joining IRH, Chrissy worked in fundraising and event production in the non-profit sector, most recently for The King's Trust USA - a global youth charity founded by King Charles III in 1976 when he was HRH The Prince of Wales.

When not working, Chrissy can frequently be found racing sailboats or browsing local bookstores. In 2023 she took a Polar Plunge in the Southern Ocean - she has no regrets.

Noah is the Mechanical Engineering Manager at Industrial Robot Help, facilitating and overseeing the complete design-to-production process with a commitment to innovation and robustness.  

Noah ambitiously and adaptively pursued biomedical device and equipment design over the past 10 years working for an industry leading pharmaceutical company before coming onboard at IRH.

An expert in 3D CAD and Design For Manufacturing, he successfully led multiple projects from conception to early stage production in the research and development space.

Outside of work Noah, enjoys modifying and wrenching on his car and participates in grassroots competition motorsports on the weekends. He also enjoys music and art in his down time.

Steve is an Electrical Engineer who designs and builds custom controls for robotic systems.

He specializes in electrical schematics using AutoCAD Electrical, adhering to UL and NFPA standards, and takes a hands-on approach to wiring and integration.

Prior to IRH, Steve spent a decade in fast-paced R&D environments, developing controls for biomedical pharmaceutical and fiber laser welding systems. He holds a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering Technology and an Associate's in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology from New England Institute of Technology.

When he’s not engineering solutions, Steve’s probably in motion - ice hockey, hiking, rock climbing, rollerblading, you get the gist. Though he does also enjoy a good book and video games.
