Electrical Test Engineer

The University of Texas at Arlington

I worked Part-time in the Parking and Transportation Department at the University of Texas at Arlington as a Student Assistant. Being a part of the electronics department of the job too, there are some important concerns as mentioned below:

1. Radios
Maintaining radios is an essential part of the job to stay in touch with the dispatch. These radios are assigned a particular frequency band. These radios are a part of the Police and various other departments. Meddling in any other confidential conversations (other frequencies) might create a problem. Thus, working in the assigned frequency domain is mandatory.

2. Tablets
The tablets contain the app which keeps all the records. It gets updated every now and then. It has to be kept in running condition so as to stay in touch with the dispatch and the regular requests.

3. Documentation.
The documentation is essential to keep a record of every single task assigned when on duty. This keeps a track on the number of people using it & changes are done accordingly. In case of complaints or any other issues in relation to the tasks assigned, these records are helpful to resolve conflicts.

Benefits
• Able to multitask & manage time more efficiently. Learned to use radios & tablets, handled paperwork. Learned to keep a smile on the face irrespective of the situation.
• Able to take spontaneous decisions with more confidence and precision.
• Able to work with the available resources.
