- Install, configure, and troubleshoot computer hardware, peripherals, and measurement sensors.
- Ensure systems meet customer specifications and BTI quality standards.
- Lead machine power-ups at our facility or customer sites, guiding technicians and machine builders through debugging, setup, and qualification phases.
Who You Are
