Vice President, Architecture Group General Manager, Platform Validation Engineering Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, Oregon
John Barton joined Intel in 1982 as a software engineer and has participated in a computing revolution during his 30-year career.“Being on the teams that brought more computing power into an average person’s pocket than was available on the entire OSU campus when I was in school has brought revolutions in virtually all human activity,” says Barton.At Intel today, Barton’s group performs post-silicon validation and verification for Intel platforms, and works directly with customers and third parties to ensure that key products and technologies meet high quality standards.“
At Oregon State, I was exposed to a huge breadth of knowledge while inside and outside the classroom,” says Barton. “What I didn’t realize until later in my career was that I had also been taught by OSU to quickly distill problems and identify the essential facts on which a high quality decision would hinge.”While the technical side of computer science has been his passion, Barton is also proud of the recognition that has come to Oregon’s Silicon Forest. “As a 50-year resident of this state, I am pleased to be part of the team that ensures Oregon remains a vital technology center for this ongoing revolution.”
