      Without being cheeky, exactly what I wrote on my profile. 😉
      I am the technical “expert” in a small company that sells imaging systems to measure the size of particles and the speed of flows. The systems usually contain a camera, a laser, a computer and some software. I help the salespeople to choose which camera and laser they need to sell in a system, and tell the electronics expert and CAD designer how to fasten the bits together so that everything works for the customer’s experiment.
