I'm a part time all-purpose idiot in my spare time. Other than that, I'm a student, currently studying my A-levels. Next year, with any luck, I'll be in Uni studying mechanical engineering.

Hi all,
I work for a Belgian based manufacturer of RF mixed signal integrated circuits used in WiMax communications systems. My official title is Senior RF systems engineer. I spend most of my time doing lots of measurements and documentation as well as assisting in the design of radios from 400MHz to 3GHz.

Heh, heres a great amount of specialists all around and im just a craftsman okay, here in germany the Politicians are not able to solve the problem they caused over the years, so its almost impossible to get the job you want. so i had to work and i started to work as a roofer. My examination is in a few weeks and then iam a sealing Technician (Dont know if its the right Word, sorry Google translates bullshit) spezialized on many things you have to know when you want to build a house or so. nothing to do with electronic stuff though. In my spare time i write books (Fantasy and Medieval Stories). Thats a lot of fun. and when the story is good, the payment is good too. On the other side, i play Keyboard (No, not in a band) but im in electronic sequencers and synthesizers. own electro style tracks etc.

Bows to the brains in this thread! Holy Smokes!
As some of you have heard, I work in a nursing school. I was hired as a data entry clerk or something like that, but they soon realized I could build furniture and fix computers, so that's what I do primarily. I get to edit photos, help them out of their electronic messes (like the time I saved them huge $$$ by backing up all their 5.25 floppies!!! If they saw the computer I built to do it they'd have a heart attack.) pretty low key stuff. I also go to the nursing school at the same time. The scenery sure is nice!!! :)
Someday I hope to be a CRNA or something not far off. I'm on the right track so far...
I've never had any formal training in electronics, hence the occasional obvious questions I post. But it is my passion, I have learned alot from it, and I'd say I've almost gotten good at it. That is I can design my own circuits that acutally work, which was my "big dream." BTW, this forum is the ONLY reason I know diddly squat.

When I am not attending high school, I work at Ortel, a division of Emcore with a few PhD's that had created a startup called Phasebridge, but later got bought by Ortel (who had breviously been bought by Emcore) working on making a terahertz class spectrometer.
Wtf? Who just thinks of giving any kind of Thz spectrometer to a 16y old??

I work with the Sydney-based Australian company, 'Fourth Axis' (who design accessories for jewelrymaking, modelmaking and rapid-prototyping machines), and are a division of Relativity. I do the prototyping and manufacturing of many of the parts used within the accessories, as well as a lot of CAD work (most of our machines just read HPGL or RS-274D programs).

Geez BP and part scavenger.
I'm just a mere kid compared to all of you. When I'm not in school, I do nothing.. and school eats most of my time even though it isn't something special or hard.
I recieve some extra contest scholarship, and that's it.
And if I intended, best summer job I could get would be fixing dead monitors and power supplies at local computer shop.
