Boston Precision Motion is a small company dedicated to providing high performance, and quantifying said performance. Especially in the hobby world, few real numbers are ever provided, let alone graphs. We aim to change that.
Austin Brown is the President of Boston Precision Motion. He obtained his bachelor’s degree from MIT in 2018, majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Controls, Instrumentation, and Robotics. He worked in the Precision Motion Control Lab for his graduate studies, advised by Prof. David Trumper. He graduated with a Masters in 2020 with a thesis studying IPM magnet structures for linear motor applications.
Austin has extensive experience with 3-phase motor controllers for robotics and electric vehicle applications. His first real motor-control project was his electric BMX bike, running on 160V and capable of sustained speeds over 45 MPH. Since then, he has built new controllers for a plethora of applications, including telescope mounts, meter-class 3D printers, lathes, and various combat robots, the largest of which have ended up on the Discovery channel.
Aaron Sliski is the mechanical lead for Boston Precision motion. Also a Massachusetts native, he graduated from Suffolk College in 2020. Aaron has extensive experience fabricating prototypes, having learned how to use a Bridgeport before he entered high school. Aaron is in charge of all mechanical subsystems on our projects, handling the design in CAD and then physically building the prototype. Outside of work, Aaron has a passion for Astronomy, working to restore several large telescopes. He also assisted building the Battlebots.
Aaron Yeiser is the electrical lead for Boston Precision Motion. Aaron graduated from his undergraduate studies at MIT in 2021 with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He then stayed for a Masters in Engineering, and graduated in 2022. He studied implantable piezoelectric cochlear implants. Outside of work, Aaron enjoys biking around Boston.
Chris Evagora is BPM’s electrical engineering intern. Chris is currently a graduate student at MIT, studying EE/CS. Chris helps out with board layout, component selection, and board fabrication. Outside of work, Chris also enjoys building extremely powerful electric vehicles.
