I remember working at my uncles shop ( as an electronics technician ) for a year around 8 years ago
these were my job duties
I had to read and interpret mechanical, optical, and electrical specifications.I used multi-meters, digital oscilloscopes, DVM and function generators
I tested analog and digital circuits and generated test reports in MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint.
These are the job descriptions that I could put in words.
But i can't remember why i was testing , reading and measuring all these voltages and so on and so forth .
I dn't know if he was an evil genius working on world domination or if he was working on a project that relates to world domination ?
the bad thing is that i need to add this to my resume ,and i wanna write what was it that i was working "ON" .
what do you think , in your mind , was I working on ?
any help would make me glad .
Thanks.

You performed quality assurance analysis and troubleshooting on electronic hardware fabricated by various electrical engineering contractors. You also were involved in the design and development stages of various hardware solutions developed by your uncle's shop.
And that is how I would leave it. You worked piecemeal assigned tasks that were part of various other projects that the 'team' in general was working on.

You may very well not have ever known what you were doing it for. Anyone can learn to read meters and follow a testing regimen, it doesn't mean that you had much knowledge of electronics or what you were exactly doing. It's no different than the ladies working on separating uranium by reading a meter and turning a knob, they had no idea of what they were doing other than keeping the meter within a certain range. Reading 1.75V on a meter simply doesn't give you any idea of what that 1.75V is doing in a circuit, you have to have quite a bit of other knowledge to be able to follow more than very basic circuits.. Essentially, if you were only following someone else's testing procedure the experience doesn't count for that much other than general work habits. If you don't remember why you were doing it, then this is almost guaranteed to be the case..

From your description you were either working on a cure for cancer or saving the world from a nuclear reactor leak that was responsible for the death of many, many people. Thank goodness for your insight and skill set.
For crying out loud. If you don't know what it is, don't put it on a resume. Someone will ask you about it and you will not have any answers.

Tell them your uncle was a government contractor who worked on components for a final project that even he didn't know what it was.

That could be anything. Why don't you just ask your uncle? If he's not available, someone else in the family should know.

If your uncle is alive, ask him. Maybe he was an electronics technician
