occasions for periods up to one month
* Responsible for conceptualization and construction of new Metallurgy,
Microscopy, Failure Analysis, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
Laboratory at company headquarters in Boulder, CO. Solely responsible
for project through all phases. Wrote Appropriation Request and
Justification for $86,823.
* Team leader of failure analysis and Product Analysis Report (PAR)
processes. These customer-facing “formal reports” are professional
