What is an Electronic Technician at Indesign?

Our electronics technicians at Indesign, LLC are highly skilled and possess a combination of technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and practical skills.

July 23, 2021 | Blog
Almost everyone has heard about the parts shortage that is currently affecting the global supply chain for semiconductors. In the past, news of a microchip shortage wouldn’t make much of a splash on national news, but the current situation is unprecedented.
