Re: What was your first job out of college?

And, did you like it? What did you do and where are you now?

Thanks.

Working at a text style mill in the electrical department where
I became the EE and thus upgraded the antique machines with modern
electronics thus, removing many of the hardware dependent apertures
of the machines.
Things were not as easy as they are now for electronic controls and
special devices. Back then, you had to design and build a lot of your
component assemblies in house. Doing the mechanical hardware engineering was up to the machinists, which we had some very talented people working there.

Then we graduated in to designing complete pieces of equipment etc.
Got a better job offer and then moved out of that state.

That was over 20 years ago. Now we work at a facility that not only
has a production operation going on continuously, they also have a
EE, ME department with a large machine and electronics work area for staging of new equipment, maintenance and upgrades of existing.

We design and modify equipment that is used through out the rest of
our other locations.

We also do lots of military, some special and some generic. In many
cases, we have to design special devices to get the process of these
exotic products properly assembled and tested.

In between all of that, I had a several side adventures doing embedded micro processor, analog devices where they were used in
products related mostly to computer interfaces and submitted many
to electronic manufactures. Now since every thing on that line is
made in China., that end of it has gone belly up..
