Greetings RoadTesters!
As we ramp up offering more and more RoadTests, one of the new issues that's come up is more industrial suppliers would like their products RoadTested. This has posed a bit of a challenge for me. The community's RoadTest program has historically featured dev boards and the like for makers or electronic engineers. As such, a lot of the members of the RoadTest group are part of the makewr/bench tech/EDE type.
To solve the problem, I would like to create a list of members who would be interested in being an industrial RoadTesters. How will it work? Honestly, I don't have all the details worked out. The two scenarios I see are: (A) run a regular RoadTest and if I don't get applicants, I would contact members of the Industrial RoadTest list, or (B) treat this group like a RoadTest by Invitation. I surely don't want to eliminate any member who would like to RoadTest an industrial product, but I guess I am saying I need a backup plan.
Who Am I looking for? I am interested in finding members who do have industrial tech or engineering experience. People who have worked in manufacturing or have been field engineers or even technicians who who worked around machinery. Even people who have worked as electrical engineers in instrumentation, wastewater treatment plants, oil/gas industry, electrical power generation, etc. If you have this background, and are interested in being placed on this call list, please message me at rscasny.
Once again, I surely don't want to exclude any member from RoadTesting an industrial product even though they may not have the background. But I am being tasked by my bosses to prepare the RoadTest group for testing a broader selection of products. If you have any questions or if you have any comments, feel free to add them below.
Sincerely,
Randall Scasny
RoadTest Program Manager
