Tokyo Boeki North America, INC, Florence, KY

Metrologist, Software/hardware Engineer, ISO 17025 Manager, May 2015 – Dec, 2020

Interface with diverse range of clients to complete identification of product and software bugs before deployment and providing feedback to development team. Oversee field technicians and company-wide quality management team through buying and maintaining metrological equipment for customers leading to ability to attract new clients and consistent relationships with existing clients. Supply clients with creative solutions for management of their software and hardware needs.

Key Projects

Software test Engineer: Streamline the uptake of metrological software by training customers and collaborating with customers on obtaining measurement task that leads to macro/wizard automation and efficient manufacturing and increased revenue for the company.

Interact directly with front-end software programmers during development and test

alpha and beta versions of new software. Write reports on unusual behaviors and

suggest strategies for improvement until official deployment.

Identify high-priority customers who want to customize software for their use and

send detailed requests to the development team. Follow up on the development

until the customers are satisfied with the results.

Hardware test engineer: Proto-type testing during R&D phase. Send test results to the R&D team and update FPGA firmware. Calibrate the measurement equipment before installation and also doing trouble shooting.
