Hey, thanks for giving me this opportunity. It's always good to share hand talk to Piers and students. Yeah, just to, uh, talk about myself here as far as the story. I mean, I'm an engineer by profession, on my, like, the engineering field in quite passionate, about working as an engineer. And my specialization has been semiconductors primarily manufacturing semiconductors. So work for companies like, you know, a lot of micron to make the semiconductor chips. How did it all start? I've been around engineers since my childhood. My dad was an engineer. His brother was an engineer, and people around them were all engineers. So kind of natural inclination towards engineering. Um, and I grew up in a in a township which used to make, uh, zinc. Basically, that's where my dad just work as a mechanical engineer in a factory that makes zinc extract zinc from its or so kind of fascinated by it. And then my uncle he was a geologist, so, and of both fascinated, but, uh, you know, the minerals and the way it extracts heavy machinery in the factories. Always waas overwhelming to see those always was very interested in knowing more about the design on on then. Uh, that's why I kind of drove towards mythological engineering. That's my specialization in engineering. Uh, was came out natural to me. Uh, then well, then, uh, shock partners Still planned for a year for a contractor doing some contracting jobs, Really? Right in front of blasphemous and, you know, doing the maintenance work, checking out the hot metal coming out off classroom. That was all fascinating. And it was really exciting. However, uh, didn't think I would be spending the rest of my life front off a firmness and, uh, maintaining it would rather be more into design and optimization. That's when I started to explore Onda. Uh, United States, of course, has excellent master's programs. PhD programs, obviously and, yes, are looking for opportunities here to get into grad school. Um, one of the things was standard. Score the stranded piss. Try and get your standard has cleared out. Start looking for some kind off. You know, Jesus adviser who can help you out. So, on the open university, it's in Alabama, off the place where I landed to get my masters in material science. And then that's when kind of opened my eyes more towards electron, ICS and semiconductors. Mhm thought. Maybe I need to get more understanding off whole quantum mechanics and how things work. I'll movinto getting, uh, getting another masters in physics after that. Such a working for a company called Micro. It's an flash Technologies is a joint to interpret intel and Micron. And then it was fun. Uh, first time working in a really manufacturing environment with heavy semiconductor manufacturing tools. That's what they are referred us and those bunny suits. It was exciting. Uh, and then, yeah, slowly stepped out engineering lard, uh, trying to, uh, you know, be as inquisitive as one can be. Try and understand. Keep questioning why? It has to be the way. On what? The technical ladder. Uh, And then once the collaboration was about to end, I moved to Intel. We're still making the same product. Uh, but this is more technology development mawr and do research and development. Uh, so tractors would be the place where I would really find, uh, opportunities to do study on right. Lot more off the processes are So that's where I am right now. Yeah. I mean, as far as incidents and experiences kind of briefly touched on this Yes,

typically decisions, Uh, are you know, uh, the twofold one. Purely technical, Which is when things doesn't work out as you thought they would. Um, and the other one is more of a program management decisions. So these are the cold hand in hand. It's not one excluded. One is exclusive together. Eso like like any any, uh, place or any workplace. You have your project deadlines? Well, being a on engineer have initiating delivery that I need to make eso at the same time have stakeholders who I need to be, uh, working good on. You know, managing my valuables. Uh, so the technology decisions are a lot more. You know, their fall in your comfortable, Because it's what you've seen with you grown with what you studied. Uh, and mostly technology. Most of the experimental parameters. Um, they tell you, you know what is right? What is wrong? Eso those decisions? They come along every day on board. You need thio. One is line sustaining, so we run a certain amount off. Uh, product makes it on amount of product, which is already developed. So we have to sustain that. Any defects or you know, anything that would need reworks how we need to be taken care of those at the same time, we need to be looking at a couple of generations ahead to develop a new product, so that would require a different set off decisions. Uh, sustaining is, you know, pretty standard, you know? Okay, just went wrong. Things can be fixed by doing this. Development is where you need to be. A lot more. Oh, looking deeper, trying to understand. You know what can be done to improve it. Oh, are you know why they did not turn the way you expected it to be? Eso requires a little bit more thorough thinking and learn more interaction with different sets off teams. Um, in addition to the centering decisions, you'll be making management decisions. You know, time management resource management, which are a little bit more involved, which requires a lot more soft skills which requires that would have been communication skills, making sure that you're communicating as clearly as possible and as concisely as possible. Uh, get your point across attention to that. I mean, if you need to go negotiate for resource is negotiate for, you know, fixed within deadlines are, uh put your, uh, so pretty cola recommendations if you need to go get some capital to support your experiments or support your new process. So these total seller skills are all your communication skills. Uh, so yeah. So if you had a way out, I would say a lot more inclined. Like 50 to 60%. You're more towards project management, Onda. About 40%. You would be dio taking engineering decisions, and the work hours depends. Uh, currently, the range around about 60 hours is, uh, typical. Uh, and if you have a product launch, that Z that needs to be piloted would expect another few more hours adding to it. Wow. So it all depends, But across along the year, uh, allergy diary comes around only 2 to 60 hopes.

eso uh, we do lots off analysis for most of our data analysis, uh, in walls. Could be any engineering program can be used to use to describe package Could be used like open source are alright if you want. Oh, uh, by a licensed software job, Another program Excel. Um, right on. And as far as algorithms, those are totally batch wearing different set off team, different team. Uh, there's a whole data science group that develops stairs on, uh, what are the scripting and all the work has done in? Uh, uh huh. Eitan are? Yeah, and the scripting language can be used for that. Um, I get algorithm wise. I don't have much visible to intuit that most often it's proprietary. I don't think I'll be I will do No. What's in their hands shared that information. But programs are pretty standard off the shelf programs every any open source. If you're good, you can start using it to
