Was ist Ihr Titel und Ihre Rolle bei Fredericks?

My title is Vacuum Scientist. I am responsible for researching and developing new vacuum measurement technologies and helping to bring vacuum measurement products to market.

Wie sieht ein typischer Tag bei Fredericks für Sie aus?

Like most, my days at Fredericks are varied. Some days I interface with customers to provide the best solution for their needs or troubleshoot their process. Other days I plan experiments, collect data, and analyze results. Sometimes I work with electrical engineers to provide specifications for electronics or software design to interface with vacuum sensors. I also work with our production technicians to improve manufacturing processes.

Wie hat Fredericks die Entwicklung Ihrer Karriere gefördert, und was haben Sie speziell durch die Arbeit hier gewonnen?

Because Fredericks is a great place to learn and experiment, it has been beneficial for my career development. Taking risks and thinking outside of the box is highly encouraged here. There is also a huge emphasis on learning and improving here, and as such, one of the many great benefits of working at Fredericks has been financial support for my M.S.M.E degree from Temple University.

Was war Ihr Lieblingsprojekt bei Fredericks?

That’s a difficult question as there are a lot to choose from. Probably my favorite has been designing new vacuum stands for the testing of our vacuum sensors. It’s an important step in our stringent quality control process and being able to improve the flow of materials and finished goods through our facility is important to providing vacuum measurement solutions at a competitive price.

Worauf freuen Sie sich bei Fredericks im Jahr 2017?

There is a lot to look forward to in 2017. We will be releasing three vacuum measurement gauges this year that we have been working on for some time. They are the culmination of a lot of thought and effort on our part. It will be good to start getting customer feedback and helping customers to better meet their needs.
