in-house manufacturing projects as well as the design of new machinery

needed to achieve the companies goals. I also have day-to-day contact with

the customers to either supply trouble-shooting experience for the

equipment and or help in working on future machine and or connector designs

for their projects. I have day-to-day contact with sales to provide machine

or part quotes, technical expertise and travel to the customer sites to

work out future design issues as a sales engineering support role. I am

also a working boss as I perform regularly as a Field Service Engineer and
