I have recently moved to the wonderful city of Dallas, and am excited to start my new career as a Manufacturing and Production Control Engineer at Texas Instruments. Supposedly people come into contact with a TI product every 8 seconds or so, which is pretty impressive. The level of automation in the fab (fabrication facility) is absolutely incredible; people are dusty and robots aren't thus the robots do (almost) all of the work. In the video below, 4:10 to 8:20 illustrates the type of environment, people, equipment and products I have the privilege of working with. It is awesome.
On the personal front, my apartment is excellent! It has a nice kitchen to cook in and it is LEED certified to keep my utilities down. Woo!
