Tested at the component level and built the systems  Worked closely with the staff engineers and engineering department as well as customers to be certain the end users needs were met.  I was also responsible for equipment maintenance and calibrations being kept up to date.  I was also responsible for the low voltage control wiring for protection circuitry and system operations both as components and at a system level.  Field service engineering, install and provide proof of performance to the end user and transmitter manufacturer, Some of my field work was on an emergent basis due to equipment failure or improper operation.  Sales to the broadcaster.  Also provided feedback to our engineering department for proper record keeping.  Limited machine shop work in model making for R&D projects.  Interfaced with other suppliers and the respective engineering departments to ensure proper operation.  Implemented schematics, diagrams and written and verbal descriptions to effectively solve engineering project issues.  Completed projects by effectively applying engineering, technical and maintenance procedures.  Used precision test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multi-meters, waveform generators and spectrum analyzers    Collaborated with engineers at the new product introduction phase to develop and verify design changes.  Initiated contact with vendors and built solid working relationships with them.  Followed up on manufacturing and field reports and resolved outstanding problems.  Compiled, processed and analyzed test data and results to improve product quality.

SPS 49 Radar component test, to including pattern test of the reflector and waveguide components.  Accomplishments Reduced test time and increased production of the SPS-49 reflector from 2 days to less than one without sacrificing quality.  Interfaced with the Ratheon Representative to demonstrate test results as well as test methodology.  Skills used a thorough understanding of RF Propagation and cause and effect of structures on radiation patterns.  Implemented schematics, diagrams and written and verbal descriptions to effectively solve engineering project issues.  Used precision test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multi-meters, waveform generators and spectrum analyzers.  Collaborated with engineers at the new product introduction phase to develop and verify design changes.  Improved product quality by customizing tools and eliminating variability.
