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 sad 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.

It's cool to see how many people don't work with electronics in their day job.

For the last 10 years I've been employed as a software engineer at a various number of companies.

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.

sigh.
