Influence, Mentorship & Communication

Communicate and influence decisions across multiple functional areas and platforms; evaluate and “sell” alternative solutions, effectively influencing outcomes.

Teach and mentor others on technical and development issues, including other process and development engineers, the service engineering team, and laboratory technicians.
