My thoughts on ...
EMS companies I have worked with
Jabil, Teradyne, Teledyne-Dalsa and many others.
The skills I often see lacking in the EMS industry today
Not enough emphasis or training of buyers in the electronic industry in regards to legacy & obsolete parts. Forced to buy using price as a motivator, thus buying from untrusted sources from the grey market. There needs to be more emphasis on detecting counterfeit parts & subpar materials, tracking and accountability of the suppliers. Becoming members of organizations like ERAI, IDEA and having standards of ISO and AS standards.
Some of the countries I have visited for work or play
All across the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean Islands! In fact, I think I may be in need of another vacation now!
A helpful travel tip I often use
Bring lots of Money ;)
