CORRALES, NM -- Burtis Group announces its formation to help client companies solve their problems requiring technical expertise. From strategy to program management to design to verification and validation to manufacturing of avionics, Burtis Group can help by supplying manpower and services.

Formed by Don Burtis, who oversaw the architecture and system design of the avionics and electrical system for the Eclipse 500 aircraft as Senior Vice President and Senior Fellow at Eclipse, Burtis Group relies on associated companies to provide industrial design and manufacturing and program management.

Prior to his senior technical leadership role at Eclipse, Burtis' career included senior management positions at technology companies, founding his own companies that designed computer peripherals and software programs, and advising venture funds on potential investments.

"Don is one of the most talented critical thinkers I have ever worked with," says Matt Brown, former Product Marketing Manager at Eclipse Aviation. "His ability to analyze a highly complex set of problems and provide clear, realistic solutions is a rare skill that is difficult to find. Don brings the highest level of professionalism and focus to his assigned responsibilities, and always produces quality results. There were many instances at Eclipse Aviation when I was thankful to have Don on my side of the table, and not sitting across from me."
