My apologies to productive "EET"'s.. that were given near-real-engineer salaries and given the title "Engineer". You all know that ALL the "real Engineers" and the "real Technicians" spit at you between their ranks, right? If not, my condolences. Real Engineers know how to compute.. and real Technicians know how to measure. L-3 CSW set you up to fail, unfortunately, and didn't tell the rest of us. We know you took "specialized courses" to get here... really, though, "EET" branded degrees = "crap when it comes to the people you are trying to interact with.
1: You aren't a "Technician". You've never dealt with what your supposed "audience" deals with. You have no idea. I'm sorry.
2. You are NOT an "Engineer". I'm sorry, L-3 is one of the last companies that would give you such a label. REAL engineers that have to deal with you sim-vomit when they get to their desks, away from you, your boss, and their boss's boss. It's horrible, I know, L-3 will not tell you but I will.
Techs and testers and inspectors and assemblers do ALL the work involved. ASK them what needs to happen to make it a better product. They will tell you. Stop being stupid. Thanks.
Also, pay the people who give a crap about your antenna/board/thermistor/panel/CCA/chromium-nut/shadow-box... pay them. Don't be a huge D|CK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We work long hours, too!!
