History Softronics Ltd. was incorporated in the State of Iowa in 1984 by Robert H. Sternowski to pursue opportunities in medical electronics. The first 15 years saw a series of small consulting and prototype efforts in medical electronics. The last five years have seen a steady increase in business as Mr. Sternowski prepared to retire from his 34 year career at Rockwell Collins Inc. We are a successful bidder and winner of several Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contracts, and are also working on several proprietary commercial projects, including two projects teamed with universities. Softronics can provide detailed references (e.g, DUNS, DoD CAGE code, credit, etc.) as required. We are already a registered veteran-owned small business with many agencies of the U.S. Government, including the Department of Defense. As the founder and driving force behind Softronics Ltd., Mr. Sternowski is now working full time at Softronics Ltd. since his January, 2004, retirement from Rockwell Collins. He brings with him a broad spectrum of experience from circuit and RF system design to engineering management to product line management to business development and sales in both commercial and government/military markets. Armed with this experience, he has carefully selected his staff with the requisite skill mix to provide highly-competent, state-of-the-art technical design, manufacturing, and support services to Softronics’ customers. A brief synopsis of Mr. Sternowski’s experience and resume follow; full staff resumes can be provided as required. POSITIONS:
