David Hopf
Final Instrumentation Technician
Canton,MI
Summary
During my time at Roush I have gained many useful skills. I started at building nine in 2016 in Instrumentation Garage service where I learned both instrumentation and mechanical skills. I moved from there to Final Instrumentation after developing diagnostic and repair skills for both instrumentation and mechanical issues. I worked with most groups in building nine to round out my skillset and be as effective as possible for the company. I have done a few off site jobs for Roush with a focus on quality control. In those postilions I sharpened my skillset to find and fix issues through testing and I worked with customers to address preventable issues. I enjoy familiarizing myself with technologies at work in order to ensure proper implementation and function of components. Learning new things is something I enjoy doing and I am a quick study.
