The successful candidate will create a novel database to manage information pertinent to an existing instrument. The purpose of this access-based-database, is to allow the manufacturing personnel to place-orders for all the electronic components based on existing bill-of-materials. Therefore, this access-based-database should archive all electronics assembly with its bill-of-material, with its corresponding datasheet and images of components assigned to each part number. Furthermore this database will enable the fabrication service to manufacture all the electronics boards and components of this instrument based on the construction drawings required for assembling the instrument. This access-based-database should be located on a LAN Computer. By logging onto this Assigned network address, the user will be accessing the access-based-database using a browser. The ABILab at the AA. Martinos Center at Massachusetts General Hospital will provide all the Software tools and framework required.
