Stern Pinball has expanded its team once again, hiring Kevin Payne as its director of mechanical engineering.
As part of his role, Payne will lead the whitewood lab, the model shop and the bill of materials group.
Stern said he will bring “strong technical leadership experience and hands-on engineering design skills.”
Before joining the pinball company, Payne was director of engineering at Axis Display Group, and he has previously held roles in the automotive, retail display and coin-op amusement games industries.
George Gomez, executive vice president and chief creative officer at Stern Pinball, said: “Kevin and I collaborated years ago while at Incredible Technologies, and I look forward to having his engineering and leadership skills in the studio to help me lead game development into the future.”
