Mark is a recognised expert in all aspects of metering and has been at Sentec for over 22 years, driving the company from start-up through to its current integration within Xylem.
With Mark’s leadership and technical knowledge, Sentec has developed a holistic understanding of the full product lifecycle, from conception through development, IP protection, manufacturing, and revenue growth. This allows Sentec to focus on solving the right problem, in the simplest way, with the appropriate technology. Invention only when necessary.
Capable of riding at up to 3.9W/kg he can be found on top of some of Europe's highest mountain passes. Equally at home on the flat country roads of Cambridge or the indoor E racing world of Zwift, Mark only has one speed – flat out!

Hilary is our Technical Director at Sentec and her expertise was recognised more widely within Xylem in 2021 becoming the second Chief Scientist in the entire company group. Hilary and our team of Physicists are the starting point for developing innovative products from first principles, using theory, modelling software and experimentation to ensure deep understanding of a problem before finding solutions. Sentec's Mechanical and Electronics teams then transform concepts into practical products. Brainstorms with multi-discipline teams are a key part of our innovation process - internally and together with clients.

Dave is our Senior Engineering Director and has been with Sentec for over 16 years. As a physicist, Dave has been involved in the development of many of the successful products Sentec have developed, including the Sensus electricity, gas and water meters. With a wealth of expertise in flow modelling, electro-optics, lasers, meter manufacture and the metering standards, Dave brings a breadth of knowledge to Sentec.  Dave has also entered his 32nd season of competitive field hockey, so doesn’t walk upright until Tuesdays.

Joe has been with Sentec for over 15 years after graduating from MIT and Cambridge University. Joe heads up our electronics team as our Principal Electronics Engineer in addition to his position of Chief Engineer within the Xylem Group. Joe’s team have been instrumental in designing electronics used in products made in the millions. Low power and wireless comms are specialities. As an accomplished bass player, this is Joe playing the oscilloscope.

Alex is our Principal Software Engineer and has been with Sentec for over 10 years. Alex and team are responsible for much of the metrology code running on Sensus metering products. Alex uses 3 screens, 12 red keys and a degree from Cambridge.

Mark is our Principal Manufacturing Engineer and has been with Sentec for over 10 years. By leading numerous manufacturing Due Diligence projects, Mark enables Sentec to understand state of the art manufacturing strategy on a global stage. Mark also looks after GridKey, our collaboration with Lucy Electric and runs bespoke equipment development projects for manufacturing lines. - 10kV HiPOT test equipment anyone?

Matt has been with Sentec for over 5 years. As a Mechanical Engineer Matt undertakes multidisciplinary projects simultaneously. His roles cover the whole range of product development: concept generation in team brainstorms; teardown of similar products; iterative prototype building and testing using our fully equipped machine shop and 3D printers; high volume injection molded part design using 3D CAD; design and build of production equipment; and conducting product validation testing. 
Matt also champions Sentec’s social responsibility activities within the Xylem Watermark initiative. His role involves liaising with local ecology bodies to enable all Sentec staff to do at least 8 hours per year of water related ecology work. Matt is our go to person for sustainability issues and advice.  

Vincenzo leads our Physics team. With a background in semiconductors, optics and microscopy, he gained a wide range of experience from working at a senior level in academia to founding a company developing electronic equipment for free flight.Vincenzo has been with Sentec since 2017 and has been working on both hardware and software projects, helping Sentec develop a range of valuable intellectual property along the way.
