Got Boffin?
Does your company/institution suffer from a need for a analog/systems person? Are you constantly running out to the production line or lab to make adjustments, when you have better things to do? Do you worry, day after day, because your existing staff looks at your equipment, shakes their head, and get the deer in the headlights look of total bewilderment? Do you get frustrated every time you need to train someone? Do you often have the feeling things could run better?
Do you need someone who looks at the whole picture and has the tenacity to stay after hours, order a pizza, and have at it, till things work? Do you need someone who can go to the library, make calls, and come back with a honest assessment of a product or process? Do you need a team player who will go to the mat for his coworkers?
If you need such a person, Give me a call. My name is O. Steven Roberts, and I'm hunting for a position, where I feel needed. I have a extensive background in applied technology and education. I have skills in materials characterization, energetic materials, and photonics. From direct current to 10 Ghz, I have a proven track record in applied technology. I have a proven track record in getting processes running from scratch. I'm used to working with dangerous materials and very expensive gear.
I have strong skills in locating obsolete or outdated materials to keep systems running. And I have patience. I'm more loyal then most bird dogs.
There are some things I can not do. I cannot break the laws of physics. I cannot create huge amounts of energy where none was before. I've yet to find a way to concentrate energy in spot sizes well below the diffraction limit, at long distances.
My requirements are simple, a decent salary, basic health care, and a warm place with friendly people. The salary must exceed the cost of living in the area by a decent margin. The desired location should have decent to above average libraries, a fair amount of single women, and cultural events. Hilly terrain a major plus. Occasional time spent traveling, airborne, or shipborne, a plus as well. I prefer not to work on systems that kill people, but I will gladly work on things that protect our nation. And if your facility is a room full of quiet introverts, or full of people who will learn the technology, and then take it overseas, to use against the US in trade or war, please do not call.
Thank You for your time,
Steve Roberts

Qui habet Christos, habet Vitam!
I should have rented the space under my name for advertising.
When I still could have...
