lucky to be recruited as an ASIC engineer. Usually, that job requires at least a few years of work experience. I've been at it for 6 years and I'm rising steadily and constantly learning new things.
Why did you choose Teradyne? Teradyne offered the most technically challenging position.
What is most challenging about your job? My job is constantly changing - the more problems you solve, the more appear.
What do you love about your job or what do you find most rewarding? I love that it takes lots of different skills. I succeed here because I have good written and verbal communications skills in combination with my engineering skills. And I love solving problems that scare me the first time I see them.
