I am very interested in obtaining an Electronics Technician or Electronics Engineer position with your company. I feel my extensive background will allow me to take on any technical challenges that are given to me, and will allow me to quickly grow with the company. The second page of this document contains my resume for review.
I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology (Electronics) from California State University Long Beach in August of 1997. I also received an Associate of Science degree in Electronics Technology from Long Beach City College in May of 1995. I have extensive experience in design, assembly, and troubleshooting of electronics systems and circuits.
Recently from February 2009 to November 2009, I worked as an Engineering Tech Contractor for Source Scientific Inc., which is a Medical Device Company in Irvine, CA. Previously I worked as an Electronics Engineer in the Technology Development department at Diagnostic Products Corporation. Diagnostic Products Corporation (now Seimens Diagnostics) manufacturers PC based Bio-medical instruments.
During my career in the military from 1989 to 1996, I worked as a Technician repairing the TOW2 missile system.
As a business owner in remote controlled aircraft; I have experience in sales, advertising, managing employees, accounting, computer maintenance and networking, and webpage design.
My passion is in electronics, as I have been a hobbyist in electronics since high school (1988). In 1999 I started a new hobby in Remote Controlled Helicopters and Airplanes, and shortly thereafter in 2000 started an online business selling Remote Controlled Aircraft, parts, and accessories. In 2004 my online Hobby Business grew to the point where I could not maintain it while working full-time as an Engineer, so I decided to pursue it full-time. In May of 2004, I opened up a retail Hobby Shop which grew quickly in the next couple years, but at the same time the overhead grew quickly, so I decided to shut it down, and pursue my Hobby business solely online. At the end of 2008 I decided to shut down the business on account of the economy, and continue my career as an Engineer/Technician. Currently as a side project, I am working with a consultant/friend in designing and implementing a solar powered mesh network. We are using individual solar powered wireless access points in which I designed the electronics, and built the solar panels.
Sincerely - Steve John Campbell
