I oversaw the day to day operations of MRA Technologies, which was a manufacturer of digital to analog converters to be used in the recording of digital telephone extensions, for security and archival purposes. These responsibilities include the hiring and training of production personnel, scheduling of electronics manufacturing and inventory, and the production, testing and shipping of finished goods. I was the project leader for new engineering efforts, and worked with contract engineers to develop new products and improve and lower costs on existing designs. I enjoyed moving an idea from conception to reality. During this time I learned PCB layout design and schematic editing, so that I could assist the design engineers, and became able to layout eight layered circuit boards, output and edit pick and place manufacturing data, and work with assembly houses to deliver and QC final products.
