Military Aircraft Combat Radar Simulation, Captive Airborne Training Missile Satellite Interface, Data Communications and Naval Missile Systems. This was my first job in the Design Field. I was a Schematic Draftsman for my first few months but took advantage of every opportunity to learn all aspects of complete Design learning Printed Circuit Design then moving into Mechanical Design. When the PC computers were starting to break into the Design World as Cad Program Tools I was able to see the impact this would have on the Design Industry. I began to learn all programs I could at school or at work. My excitement allowed me to convince Metric systems to invest in the new technology and eventually we replaced all Drafting Boards with Cad Workstations and became the company to use as model to convert to Cad/Cam Technology.
