Within this capacity, I access laboratory and field test equipment to perform testing and troubleshooting activities for the integration and verification of one of the world's most sophisticated missile system. In doing so, I coordinate with engineers from a variety of discipline to support execution of system engineering tasks. I also perform maintenance on a variety of equipment used to monitor physical phenomena and apply advanced knowledge of digital and analog equipment to diagnose instruments and hardware failures.Some of my proudest achievements to date include:• Acquired additional responsibilities when selected to provide on-the-job training to new hires joining team.• Proved highly efficient in determining root cause to identify, prioritize, report, and track defects.• Maintained accurate and up-to-date records in project log books and email folders.• Succeeded in performing missile builds, data analysis, qualification testing, design verification testing, hardware integration, aircraft integration, and flight-testing.
