Also worked on the repackaging and mechanical design of canister End pumped laser Model line,spec. Furthermore I have performed technical writing tasks to include operations manual re-write and several test and manufacturing procedures. I also have performed both In-house and field customer service as well as customer training. In addition to this I have also interfaced with customers to aid them with system integration, maintenance and upkeep of lasers systems. Show less
