  • Compile and correlate a variety of data, reduce data for analysis, prepare schematics, diagrams, or parts lists, and make recommendations regarding test procedures and hardware.
  • Provide leadership in the assembly and operation of laboratory and field service equipment.
  • Troubleshoot test equipment and apply knowledge and experience towards solving problems, such as types of repairs or modifications required.
