Additional Skills & Qualifications:
On day one interfacing with system engineers who architect systems that are in process and you will be working as a liason from the electrical group designing it. You will jump right in and be important and needed. Not 6 months of documentation and reading. Needed to jump right in in a senior capacity figuring out the product on the fly solving technical system problems. Help is needed, couple of junior people that you can mentor, bring up, and multiply your time to learn how to delegate and provide guidance and direction. Make a difference and have a voice. There is guidance. This is general to systems, not specific to any one system. Can look up their products and systems on their site to get an idea of what to expect.Experience Level:
