Test Engineering

Prior to my time in the Navy, I was an electronics test engineer for a small manufacturing company, working on various cables, assemblies and electronic devices for the USAF and NASA. 
I tested products to specification, led the charge in troubleshooting for rework or redesigns, verified continuity, isolation, and tested devices to 3000 V isolation. Zero defective products shipped out from my testing department over 15 months of work, with more than 500 products tested in that time.
