SummaryOver the past 12 years, I have had consistent hands-on experience in Medical device companies performing and completing tasks that require excellent hand-eye coordination such as micro component assembly (soldering, epoxy and adhesive bonding, laminating, welding, microscope work). I am able to work diligently and efficiently from written and/or verbal instructions. In addition, I have experience with electronics testing and laboratory equipment such as a Z axis pressure and leak tester, leister thermal welder, laser welder, an Instron tensile tester, laser micrometer, caliper, digital micrometer, snap gage, and microscope. I have developed some advanced skills through experience such as NiTi etching, hand deburring, hand sculpturing of small components, assembling cables, and soldering coils with gold and silver solder. I have knowledge of chemical handling and safety and practice safe chemical practices on a daily basis.
