Hiring Manager,
I am interested in continuing my career in the field of assembly, integration and test. I have
attained an Associates of Applied Science degree in Electronics Engineering in December of
1998 and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Telecommunications Engineering Technology in
March of 2003 from ITT Technical Institute.
I have training and experience in a variety of test and inspection equipment. I also have
experience with battery power control systems, data handling systems, orbital systems, payload
systems, telemetry monitoring, telemetry review, failure analysis, automated programming
equipment, prototype test units, volt meters, fluke meters, oscilloscopes and power supplies. I
have limited experience with function and signal generators as well as spectrum analyzers. I have
written Non-Conformance Reports (NCR's) to describe and illustrate system’s operating
characteristics, malfunctions, and deviations from design specifications for engineers’ review
and determinations. I have been responsible for creating and maintaining time standards, fan
charts, procedure documentation and assist engineers in writing automated test scripts for
company specific test scenarios. I have also completed NASA solder certification class.
My experience in troubleshooting with many methods and use of specialized test equipment in
the field of micro-electronics, electronics and mechanical electronics; coupled with the training I
have received through ITT Technical Institute and in the Aerospace industry has given me a
well rounded base making me a valuable addition to any similar based organization. I have
excellent communication and organizational skills. I have a strong technical and mechanical
aptitude and a demonstrated commitment to quality performance.
Personal business experience includes design and fabrication of off-road modified parts for track
vehicles. Beginner skills in aluminum TIG welding and moderate skills with steel MIG welding.
Use of hand and powered tools. Web design and maintenance.
Thank you for reviewing my resume, if given the chance I would prove to be a valuable asset to
the team. I look forward to speaking with you to discuss opportunities with your company.
Sincerely,
