I am working as a Product Engineer in the Special Products group of
Fisher Controls in

These questions range from sales quotes for customers to manufacturing problems,
to field support issues. As Fisher has been around since the 1880s, this presents
a lot of unique challenges, especially supporting products that were designed

Additionally, as part of Special Products, I work on engineering orders that are outside
the scope of Fisher’s normal catalog, which often contain unique material,
temperature, and/or pressure requirements.
