Work History
Manufacturing Technician
Powerside
09.2024 - Current
- Hand pick parts based on the work order and Assembly of a device called PQube 3 Rugged Wall Mount, an IP44-rated, weatherproof enclosure containing a PQube 3 power analyzer. Designed for harsh industrial environments, this unit enables monitoring of power quality and environmental parameters without needing a separate power source.
- After assembly we had to turn device on with wires that ran 480v with ferrules on the end, plugging into the device to make sure current runs throughout the device with no defective parts. Also making sure voltages are reading correctly and apply firmware while device is turned on.
- Troubleshooting when necessary, occasionally parts wouldn’t work for example the uninterrupted power supply (UPS) so we had to swap out part and replace it with a new one
- Used Excel Sheets everyday for data. We had to serialize every device and parts inside of it and make sure it’s grouped together. Or when we had to troubleshoot, we had to log it in the Excel sheet and explain what happened and how I fixed it
- Occasionally helped shipping department by Packaging, labeling, and prepare products for shipping, or supporting inventory control and related logistics when there was downtime.
