The Chemical Connection: The Consequences of Additive Metallizing on Etching Steps
It’s Only Common Sense: Are You Really So Busy?
As the workforce continues shifting to the next generation and the lack of appeal for manufacturing careers persists, we feel it’s important to share the voices of those who have chosen manufacturing as their career. We believe this will raise awareness and inspire others to consider manufacturing as a strong and viable career path.
I recently went to Cedar City, Utah, where I visited IPS, which has been manufacturing wet process equipment for printed circuit board fabrication for over 30 years. While there, I conducted candid one-on-one interviews with several of the IPS team members, who shared their views on manufacturing, as well as their roles, challenges, and advice for others looking at manufacturing as a career.
In this video, you will meet mechanical design engineer Inoa Wahinehookae, who graduated two years ago from Southern Utah University with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a minor in CAD/CAM. He started his career with IPS, and now, as project manager, Inoa is already in charge of some of the largest projects at IPS. His current project is a state-of-the-art, fully automated ENEPIG line that will soon be installed at TTM. Inoa has been the project manager from the start of the entire process and will be onsite for the installation and customer training.
