At Atonix Digital, a wholly owned subsidiary of Black & Veatch, McRoberts will oversee development and deployment of the company's suite of software solutions powered by ASSET360, the cloud-based data analytics platform that drives operational and planning solutions for complex and distributed assets.

He eventually joined computer-aided design software provider Autodesk, where he served as business line manager for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) product line. 

During his tenure at Autodesk, McRoberts launched several new desktop and cloud products, including Autodesk's first engineering analysis applications, and cloud-based optimization products for building and infrastructure engineering. After leaving Autodesk, he joined CHA Consulting, Inc. where he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, responsible for the company's technology initiatives and future growth associated with IT, design technology, commercial software development, and technology services.
