[Skills Offered] Incredibly Skilled New Grad EE at Frank Zhao

Description:

I recently graduated from U of Waterloo for EE. Currently I am sort of working as a freelance contractor but I want to establish a full time job in order to grow my skills and get a steady income.

I can do ANYTHING, I can handle all aspects of a project. Concept, circuit schematic, PCB layout, PCB assembly (I can solder QFN by hand and BGA in an oven), firmware programming (C, C++, assembly), desktop programming (C++, Java, C#, Python, a few UNIX scripting languages, the list goes on), Android programming, Web programming (HTML, JS, PHP, C#), 3D modeling (SolidWorks, mostly to design enclosures, robot mechanics, etc). I can take a idea to full production all by myself.

Think I’m “stretching the truth”? Ask my clients, or visit my website, my Youtube channel, and my Instructables account (where I have won several first/grand prizes, probably totalling more than $4000 of prizes so far). I have been pouring my soul into my hobby since 2007 when I was still in high school.

I also graduated from the UW co-op program which means I have 6 work term (4 months each) placements worth of experience in the EE industry before I even graduated.

Please contact me for a full resume and my list of professional references. I am a Canadian citizen, I am willing to relocate anywhere and capable of obtaining any Visa required.

Thank you

[Skills Offered] Machine PCB assembly in the USA at TinkerBEE.com

2013-05-17 21:43:08

Location:
URL: http://TinkerBEE.com

Description:

Greetings;

We are offering affordable PCB assembly in the good old USA.

We purchased a MannCorp MC385-1V1 pick-and-place assembly machine for our retail and wholesale operations late last year, but our particular market will be slow for the next 6 months.

We’re looking for an excuse to keep this wonderful pick-and-place machine running over the summer (it’s a shame to have it sitting there collecting dust). We are hoping to find designers who have prototype, small batch, or low to medium volume needs.

Please contact us if you are looking for machine PCB assembly in the USA. Rates are negotiable – we don’t have a rate sheet because we’re new to doing contract work and it seems that every job is different.

We have placed SMT’s down to and below 19 mil pitch. Machine can easily place 0402’s and 010005’s (we purchased all the bells and whistles for this machine). We can pick up reel parts, cut tape parts, waffle packs, loose parts.

Our stencil printer is a manual stencil printer, we have printed SMT’s down to and below 19 mil pitch.

We can handle single boards, simple matrix panels or complicated matrix panels up to about 14” x 12”.

We can do lead and lead-free. We are rather informal so we feel we are a good fit for designers who are on a budget but don’t want to send their pieces overseas.

Looking forward to working with you on your project.
