Aug 1979 to Sep 1989

During my time at Hughes I was a member of the of the Electronic and Space Technicians union east 1553. My responsibilities were

(government). If it failed, then my responsibilities was to troubleshoot, repair the unit, and replace any component necessary to

bring the unit into compliance. After that we had to simulate the unit being at the north pole, or in the desert, and the unit had to

work. So we did environmental testing at -55c to +55c and the unit had to work within these parameters within a set amount of

time. One of the jobs I am good at is what they call mean-time-between-failures this is where you analyze the problem to see if

you can incorporate a solution or new design that will make it last longer or make it easier to repair. I like being on beginning

project where you have a lot of problems, prototypes, and new installations.
