Employee Spotlight: Tony Firari, Sales Engineer at Marlin Technologies

At Marlin Technologies, we believe that great teams are built on collaboration, curiosity, and a shared drive to solve complex challenges. This month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Tony Firari, a Sales Engineer whose passion for hands-on teamwork and customer-focused innovation makes him a standout member of our team.

From Corporate Corridors to Collaborative Labs

After years in a large corporate setting, Tony was ready for a change — one that would allow him to take ownership of his success and see the direct impact of his work. That search led him to Marlin.

“Marlin offered something I really value: the chance to collaborate with teammates face-to-face instead of through a screen,” Tony shares. “The sense of connection and shared purpose here is what I enjoy most.”

A Project That Brought It All Togethler

One of Tony’s proudest accomplishments at Marlin was the team’s work with SCAG on the Jackal, a ride-behind skid steer. The integration of the M-Flex 4.3” Display and I/O Controller was a true cross-functional effort.

“Engineering, field service, manufacturing, and the OEM were all aligned toward one goal — to make it perfect for launch,” Tony says. “Seeing that come to life successfully was incredibly rewarding.”

The Power of Problem-Solving Together

Tony’s role as a Sales Engineer puts him at the intersection of technical expertise and customer engagement — but what really sets Marlin apart, he says, is the way the entire team rallies around a challenge.

“There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing Engineering, Field Service, and Manufacturing all gathered around a machine in the lab, brainstorming, problem-solving, and improving a design together,” he explains. “That hands-on collaboration is what makes this place special.”

Life Outside the Lab

When he’s not working with customers or solving technical puzzles, Tony finds peace in the great outdoors. Whether he’s running or hunting with his dog, Theo, nature is his go-to recharge zone.

And this year, Tony and his wife took on a new adventure: their first big garden. “It was a lot of work, but there’s something really satisfying about growing your own food — and even better, sharing it with others.”

Words of Wisdom

For those just starting out in the industry, Tony offers simple but powerful advice: “Ask questions. Learn from everyone around you. The more you absorb early on, the better foundation you’ll have to build your career on.”

Thanks, Tony, for bringing your energy, insight, and collaborative spirit to Marlin Technologies. We’re lucky to have you on the team!
