I worked as a field service technician primarily doing start-up, troubleshooting, and repair of AC and DC motor controls. I also worked with a team doing power systems testing and certification, instrumentation, and control system troubleshooting and integration. During my employment I became certified for start-up and warrantee service of both Magnatek and Danfoss VFD motor controls.
