Research Systems Engineer
I do data analysis and run experiments for the semiconductor industry.
A typical day in my job can look quite different depending on what stage a project is in. Some days are full of hardware design or assembly, other days are dedicated to writing data analysis code and analyzing data, and yet other days are spent running experiments and collecting that data. My team members and I have regular meetings with our counterparts in Japan to collaborate on ideas. I enjoy the variety and creative freedom my job offers.
Here's the first step for college students
I recommend earning a degree in mechanical engineering. Many people in my position go on to get a graduate degree but I don't think that's necessary. It's not necessary for everyone on a project to have a Ph.D.
