A conversation with Sean Herman, Applications Engineer for the Amphenol Commercial Air Division in Sidney, NY. Sean has been with Amphenol for over five years. We talk about his customer-facing role, which, for him, is the perfect blend of engineering and learning what his customers do. We talk about the struggles during the commercial aerospace market downturn for a couple of years but then pivot to its current rebound and the emergence of new markets like EVTOL. We talk about the unique performance requirements for new connector designs in these emerging programs and the satisfaction of finally seeing them take off. We talk about growing up in a small, rural town in upstate New York, going to college for engineering, then lucking out by finding the perfect first job for him at Amphenol. We talk about some of his hiking recommendations around New York. And we discuss his desert island album, book, and movie. This is The Interface.
