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 and has been with Sentec over 10 years. 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 14 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 will also be entering his 32nd season of competitive field hockey, so doesn’t walk upright until Tuesdays.

Joe has been with Sentec for over 12 years after graduating from MIT and Cambridge University. 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 nearly 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 8 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 4 years. As a Mechanical Engineer Matt will undertake a number of multidiscipline 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.  

Shaw is our Operations Director and works to ensure the smooth running of the Sentec facility, getting the right resources deployed in terms of people, money and time. Typically, engineers spend their days either activley delivering on projects for clients, working with the business development team by becoming 'segment experts' or working on an internal innovation. With project durations from days to years, a multidisciplined team and the requirement to retain state of the art technology know-how, Shaw's day to day life is a plate spinners dream. Outside of work, Shaw is decarbonising his life with a home battery, electric car, electric bike, rooftop solar, 5 mechanical wristwatches and 17 human powered bicycles.

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.
