Thirty years building products at the intersection of hardware, connectivity, and software — from co-founding a pioneer in digital home entertainment networks to leading consumer storage roadmaps for one of the world's most consequential semiconductor companies. Jon knows how devices think, how they connect, and how they find their way into people's lives.
Jonathan Weech has been building hardware products since before most of the industry understood what a connected device was. His career started at Micron Electronics / MicronPC in 1993 — seven and a half years as Director of Emerging Technology and Director of Development Engineering, accountable for the definition, development, and delivery of a $2B+ family of personal and business computing products, reporting directly to the CTO. It was a formative apprenticeship in how silicon and software combine to produce something a person actually uses.
In 2003 Jon co-founded Dedicated Devices, Inc. — a pioneer in the digital entertainment network market — serving as Co-Founder and Vice President of Products for over five years. He led the company's product planning and development, managed both engineering and product management teams, and was integral to the fundraising process that garnered more than $8 million across three rounds. The products won multiple awards including the CEA's TecHome Mark of Excellence Structured Wiring designation. The company created industry-defining product architecture combining network and media delivery service layers for quality of service — and filed multiple patents in the process.
Dedicated Devices wasn't just a product company — it was a thesis about how homes would eventually work. Jon was writing that thesis in hardware nearly a decade before the smart home became a marketing category.
When Dedicated Devices was acquired by Home Director in 2007, Jon stepped into the VP of Products role for the entire Home Director family of companies — integrating the product roadmaps of four separate companies into a single cohesive product strategy and implementing a common product introduction and lifecycle management process across all entities. He then founded Point B Group — a product consulting firm advising C-level management of mid-size tech firms on market validation, product strategy, and due diligence — before taking the Director of Products role at IntelliScience Corporation, where he aligned computer vision product offerings to customer requirements, led corporate transition to unstructured big data sources, and facilitated cross-functional product development via a custom Agile-like methodology.
In 2014 Jon returned to Micron — this time to the commercial products side — where he has spent the last twelve-plus years building expertise in consumer storage and DRAM that few people anywhere in the industry can match. As Sr. Manager of Product Marketing for SSD, he owned product line management for Crucial Consumer SSD offerings: roadmap planning, product strategy, TAM strategy and validation, product lifecycle activities including PLM Stage Gate preparation and execution, product launch and go-to-market, and direct media, analyst, and customer relationship management. As Director of Product Line Management for Consumer SSD, he was accountable for roadmap definition and execution for consumer storage and DRAM product lines. And since October 2022 he has served as Sr. Director of Product Marketing and Management for the Commercial Products Group — driving roadmap execution and market strategies across consumer storage and DRAM, collaborating across cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality products on time, on spec, and within budget.
Seventy-two endorsements for Product Management and forty-four for Startups on LinkedIn are not a vanity metric — they are the accumulated record of a career spent consistently doing what he says he can do. Jon has also volunteered as a Startup Weekend Judge for New Ventures Lab and served as a Mentor and Advisor to the Women's Business Center of Idaho, evidence of a professional who invests in the ecosystem around him, not just his own career.
The connected campsite isn't a distant concept — it's the next logical step in a trajectory Jon has been walking for thirty years. Grid-independent energy, embedded AI, hardware that performs in the field without infrastructure: these are exactly the problems a career in consumer storage, DRAM, and digital home connectivity prepares you to solve. Jon brings both the technical fluency and the product discipline to help Tymmber build hardware that actually works — outside, off-grid, and at scale.
Jon lives in the Boise metropolitan area — one of the best-positioned cities in America for someone who takes the outdoors seriously. The Sawtooths, the Owyhees, the Snake River Plain, and the Frank Church Wilderness are all within reach. He is, by Mike's account of nearly two decades of acquaintance, an avid outdoorsman — not someone who appreciates the outdoors in theory but someone who uses it. That matters at this table. Tymmber's advisory group is not a credential collection. It is a group of people who have earned the outdoors and have something specific to contribute to getting more people there.
The thread connecting Micron's semiconductor roadmaps to Tymmber's connected campsite vision runs directly through Jon's biography. He has spent his career asking how devices get smarter, smaller, more connected, and more durable — and making products that answer those questions. That is precisely the question Tymmber is asking about the outdoors.
