Not a newbie

I'd like to welcome all the new members and figured this would be one of the more efficient ways

 

I'm Patrick from Ottawa now San Jose California.

 

I am literally and Rocket scientist (and electrical engineer) who worked on the space station and shuttle program until 1992 and then when to work for ATI (now AMD) when I lived in Toronto.

 

I now Manage a group of engineers in the Intel Data Center Group and my group is responsible for the 5G wireless interface infrastructure

 

I use to game with these guys, however I don't think I have turned on the PS4 in a month or more. No time.  I am hoping however to have worklife balance return to normal shortly.

 

I use to play Cod/Battlefield/Overwatch/Destiny with this group

Working on a shuttle sounds like a pretty amazing job.  What was it like?

Out of this world (sorry couldn't help myself )

 

It's actually very structure very tedious work. The number of times you have to do the same work is very high. We were response for the "Canadarm"  which is on both the shuttle and the space station.  I had to redesign the same communication transceiver 5 ways for example, just to get the "most prefered" way.

 

Testing on the "Vomit Comet" (reduced gravity aircraft) and the Natural Buoyancy lab was the best part. Not recommended for those who are prone to motion sickness,
