Testing the Future: Mitch Marks on Mobility Evolution

AVL's Reimagine Mobility Podcast

Join us in an enlightening conversation with Mitch Marks from HBK on the Reimagined Mobility podcast. Mitch shares his deep insights into the electrification of mobility, emphasizing the critical role of testing, innovation, and system-level thinking in pushing the boundaries of electric vehicles (EVs) and mobility solutions. Discover how advancements in electric motors, batteries, and testing methodologies are driving the future of mobility towards more efficient, sustainable, and intelligent systems. Mitch also discusses the challenges and opportunities in reskilling engineers, the importance of data in simulation and testing, and a glimpse into the next wave of mobility innovations. Tune in to explore how we're moving toward an electrified future, one test at a time.

Mitch has worked in electric motor development since 2014 and specializes in the test and measurement of traction motors and drives. He focuses on developing new testing techniques and accelerating the development process through testing. He has been with HBK since 2017 as a member of the electric power testing team. He has an undergraduate and a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin – Madison WEMPEC program.
