Devin Murrell

I am a fixer. My strength is in finding unique and easy solutions to problems that people may have not yet considered. For example, in college I was working on a group engineering project and my job was to build a slip ring to get power to a spinning system. I was already planning on using bearings and a machined aluminum shaft so I just used the bearings themselves as the slip ring. Injecting them with conductive grease and imbedding wires into the shaft. Our group ended up with a tie for best project. I have years of electrical engineering schooling and years of experience in the manufacturing and IT space. I am a quick learner and like to be challenged every day. I have clean room experience and knowledge about vacuum chamber related systems. I am good with Linux and other operating systems.

I worked tech support in college. Then I worked as a head cook for 3 years. I started my Intel career testing server memory. I moved to working on post production silicon testing and validation. Then I moved into the soldering rework room. Soldering under a microscope different additions to the validation hardware and performing error diagnosis and repairs. Documentation was a big part of my workday. I then moved into the fab/clean room working on water cooled testing rigs and big laser mask writing machines. I learning clean room safety and how to keep particles down.

I went to a technical vocational high school where I specialized in PC repair and electronics. I spent 5 years in the electrical engineering program at Oregon State University. I took many physics courses as those are my favorite. I learning how to schedule myself to get things done on time and the importance of keeping motivated. My senior project group ended up in a tie for best project. We built a spinning full color POV display using RGB leds on a 18in spinning blade.
