Security Officer

Concepts/NREC Woburn, MA Permanent position

3/00-9/02

Built, tested and calibrated turbo-compressor control units. This required

intensive testing,data collection and graphic analysis for selection and

calibration of the electronic pressure sensors for the analog/digital

control board in the unit. Calibration was performed using a response

curve achieved by testing the devices at vacuum and pressure over a range

of -40F to +140F. Based on the results of this, compensations were

calculated and programmed into the unit's memory and re-tested. Assembly,

soldering and testing required the use of hand tools, torque wrenches, and

dial calipers, soldering and de-soldering equipment, oscilloscopes, DVM's

pressure and vacuum gauges. I also made extensive use of Excel, word and

Labview data acquisition software, and I was responsible for inspection and

qualification of out sourced PCB assemblies.
