A day in the life

You start your shift reviewing a repair ticket for a rail signaling PCB. With the schematic and BOM pulled up, you trace the issue to a component-level fault, verify it with an oscilloscope, and perform clean, standards-based rework. After a point-to-point continuity check, you run the unit through Bench Test Equipment to confirm it meets engineering specifications. Before moving on, you log results, inspect labels and hardware, tidy your station per 5S, and assist a teammate with a tricky desoldering pass. Every task, every test, moves a train closer to its destination—safely and on time.
