Founder & Principal Engineer, Veritas Concept Engineering — Northern Colorado
Robin brings over 30 years of industrial engineering and operations experience from Boeing, Amkor Technology, Advanced Energy, Intel, and Becton Dickinson, including multiple site leadership roles at Jabil. He founded Veritas Concept Engineering to focus on a problem he'd watched play out at facility after facility for three decades: architectural design moving forward before anyone had rigorously defined how the building actually needs to operate.
Robin also spent seven years working with Dr. Dave Sly of Iowa State University, helping bring FactoryFLOW and FlowPlanner — the industry's leading facility layout and flow analysis software for decades — to companies across the USA and Asia.
He specializes in translating operational requirements into plans that design and construction teams can actually build from, working directly with facility owners, architects, MEP engineers, and general contractors — then staying engaged through design and construction to make sure the original operational intent survives contact with the real project.
Multiple site leadership roles at Jabil, plus operations and engineering roles at Boeing, Amkor Technology, Advanced Energy, Intel, and Becton Dickinson.
Eight years living and working in Asia, including teaching industrial engineering as a former IE instructor at Mapúa University in Manila.
Navy veteran with five decorations from two years of service in the Persian Gulf, Navy Sea College Program.
That combination — engineering, manufacturing management, and business — is the lens Veritas Concept Engineering brings to every project: operational rigor translated into decisions leadership can act on.
Front-end facility planning for new and modified facilities, staying engaged through design and construction to preserve the original operational vision in the finished facility.
That's the standard behind every engagement — plan the operation first, then let architecture and engineering build from a validated concept, not a blank page.

The core argument: space is usually measured and managed as a static real-estate line item — square footage, cost per square foot — rather than as a dynamic operational asset tied to flow, relationships, and utilization. That mismatch is what produces facilities that look fine on a floor plan and fight the operation every day they're in use.
