San Diego, CA — Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL) announced today that it has promoted Larry Longden to the new position of vice president & general manager of the company’s Microelectronics product group, which develops, manufactures and markets radiation hardened components and single board computers for the space and satellite markets.

Longden began his 34-year tenure with Maxwell as an engineer, specializing in analyzing radiation effects on electronic devices and systems. In 1984, he was responsible for introducing the company’s first radiation hardened product, a “nuclear event detector”, which senses potentially damaging radiation effects and shuts down sensitive electronic systems to limit damage. He was awarded a U.S. patent for that device in 1987, and more recently was co-inventor on a patent for Maxwell’s Xray-Pak® shielding technology to protect components from man-made radiation. Since 2000, he has been responsible for developing and implementing the company’s Microelectronics product strategy of combining proprietary radiation mitigation technologies with commercial semiconductors to produce and market high-performance, space-qualified components and systems, and, in 2006, was appointed general manager of the Microelectronics product group.

“Larry has overseen Microelectronic product development and launched dozens of new products, including the SCS750 single board computer, which Northrop Grumman Space Technologies designed into the U.S. government’s next generation weather satellite program, and Astrium Ltd selected for the European Space Agency’s Gaia science mission,” said David Schramm, Maxwell’s president and chief executive officer. “Under his leadership, the Microelectronics product portfolio has grown significantly, and Maxwell has established itself as a respected supplier to a very demanding and competitive industry.”
