Moved into modular assemble and harnessing for systems assembled connectors .Than went on to modular test . It was like RadioShack electronics notebook same circuits . Went into Systems test . learned Helium leak detector and all aspects in systems testing . A friend asked me to take over his project the 500 AB system .Took the ball and ran as fast as I could . Promoted to Corporate Headquarters . Became leader in my Division and perfected design more throughput achieved .10 corperation leaders under me just 28 years old. They went to Florida . I went to one of there sub contractors at RFPP radio frequency power products. Worked for my friend Chris Ben went into test 15 years later bought by Advanced Energy and wild ride continued .Went on to Engineering .
