[ecoTex]

Manufacturing Engineering Specialist for an extremely large equipment company at their nine to thirty two liter engine block and cylinder head machining plants. Basically that's a fancy title for an entry level position in the Engineering department. I have worked here for three years and have worked my way up through five positions starting as machine operator. My goal is , God willing, to be an Engineer in three years.
