Patrick Dumas Email & Phone Number

While in the US Navy, I saw that I was given one hour to fix equipment. The civilian Engineers were given all night to work on the same equipment. I promised myself that I would go to college and be a technician with a degree. While in college I told a fellow student on his way becoming an engineer that I would leave him in the office while I went out and fixed equipment left and right. I got my degree and was given an excellent opportunity to be and Equipment Engineer in the semiconductor industry. I worked as an Engineer for 10 years. During the dot-com bubble bursting I saw a change coming. I asked myself what would be ideal for me. I thought I wanted to be a technician for the same pay. I was offered exactly that a few days later without me asking for it. I got to live out my Navy-days dream for 20 years. Instead of telling techs what to do, I got to do it. I got to help techs get their work done as their coworker. I worked the night-shift and for 20 years, and people have waited all night for me to fix things. I loved being an engineer and would be open to doing that again. More years as a technician would also be great. I am open to jobs within and outside the semiconductor industry.
