As an application engineer, I predominantly work within application support offering continued support to our customers and training in eCADSTAR, whilst working closely with sales to help inform new customers of the capabilities of the tool we use. I also undertake PCB design and reverse engineering work in both CADSTAR and eCADSTAR to serve the other half of my role.
