I used to work for a telecommunications firm before and I could say that I had a great time with my job as a quality control engineer and preparing our company’s technical standards. Aside from doing site inspection and checking on field equipment and installation, I also spend a lot of time in the office doing research. I had to keep up with the latest standards and practices in the field of telecommunications. It’s quite a challenge to do research when it comes to technological advancement.
Our suppliers are also a big help as they keep us informed of the latest innovation and provide seminars for our engineers as well as letting us visit their production plant. Some product suppliers would also provide technical documents and other relevant articles which were really useful in my research work.
It’s also good to do research on the Internet especially the websites of manufacturers and suppliers. For instance, in the website of Frequency Management Intl., manufacturer of quartz crystals and crystal clock oscillators, one can find informative articles in their Application and Tech Notes page such as oscillator application notes, value added specification, and glossary of related terms. These articles serve as reference for their clients who are interested in their products’ technical specifications.
Their product line includes wide range of standard crystals and high-temp crystals, oscillators (thru hole and surface mount) depending on use and application, for computers, instrumentation, telecommunications, optical networks and other engineering applications.
