New product laser design

Upon being promoted I balanced the work load of laser scientist with the administrative and management duties of a director. With a thorough understanding of our technology and departmental functions I developed major goals for the engineering department to support broad functional objectives. I approved policies and sub-functions within departments. I still assist with problem solving at skill levels from technician to R&D engineer when possible. I often interface directly with customers to understand their needs and how we can use our capabilities to help them.
