Krista Christie

I manage a team of Software Engineers, creating embedded firmware, software, and cloud server solutions for the Fueling and Grid industries. 

Franklin, especially at the Saco Engineering facility, has a great culture of mutual respect and collaborative development. Franklin as a company is stable, growing, and routinely respects and acknowledges the achievements of it's employees. Our software team focuses on bringing the embedded environment to the cutting edge of software solutions. Our solutions are customer focused and heavily driven by feedback in the field, making them highly successful in the market. Franklin is the kind of place worth sticking around for. Our team is competitive in the market because we are not competitive with each other, rather support each other making our day to day work enjoyable.

I have a diverse background. I have a BS in Biology, after a very short period teaching overseas and as a college lab instructor, transitioned to campus law enforcement for 14 years. I took classes part time and switched careers to software development in 2019. I became the Software Engineering Manager at Franklin in 2025. I am passionate about problem solving in all of it's forms.

We are looking for driven and dedicated individuals, who are energized by a new problem to solve and interested in continuous learning. We want people who are collaborative, flexible, and teachable.
