I have been fortunate enough to be employed by one of the top electrical engineering firms in Seattle and have a lot of really great experience working with the electrical side of things. I have also worked with a number of different companies over the years. I’d say there are two parts to my work experience that are especially interesting to me: the first is working in a high-energy environment, and the second is working in an environment of constant change.
The first part of my experience came from my work in the early 90’s at a company called, I believe, Sysco. Sysco had a number of very high-energy environments on their campus where we had to build our own power generators. I remember coming up with a design that would allow the power to flow through the building itself.
Although I worked on design systems that were very high-energy and high-stress, I also worked on a number of projects where the environment was much more predictable. The first was a program to develop an algorithm that would predict the demand for a particular product. This was an attempt to replace the human engineers who had to make a design decision based on the quantity of product sold rather than on the demand.
What I find fascinating about this is that the company that was developing the algorithm for this program actually had a name that meant “electric engineering.” I would surmise that the name was derived from the fact that the company was developing a program to predict electrical demand. The name also came from the fact that the algorithm was aimed at predicting electrical demand and predicting the supply and demand for a certain product.
The algorithm has been in use for almost 20 years. And in fact, its use in predicting electrical demand is the main reason this program was launched. However, I think it was just a matter of time before companies realized that predicting electrical demand is a very important aspect of their business. So while I don’t have a good explanation for why this name was chosen, I do think it makes some sense.
Yeah, it’s obvious to anyone who has ever studied electricity that demand peaks in the summer when the demand for electricity is at its peak. But it’s also obvious that demand does drop off in the winter and even in the summer. But what makes this a problem is that the algorithm doesn’t really take into account this drop in demand. So it predicts peak demand and then when the demand for electricity drops off, it predicts the demand to return back up.
I believe that this is a good thing, but I do think it makes it difficult for engineers to make the most of their time. Its like if you had to have a job at a grocery store and you applied to the store, the first thing that would get on your resume would be that you always have to be on the store floor doing grocery shopping. It would be easier to go to a job that would require you to use a computer as well.
I think it’s possible to get hired as a technician for a building but I don’t think that’s the way it works.
It depends on what you want to do. If you want to be an electrician and you want to be working in an area of Seattle that’s more environmentally friendly, you’re going to have to do it at a very high level, as I mentioned. If you want to be a software engineer, you’re going to have to do it at a very high level as well.
Being a software engineer is the most expensive of all positions, and it takes a lot of time to get there. If you want to be an electrician, you dont even have to be a good one, you just have to know how to use a computer. If you want to be a software engineer, you dont even have to know how to use a computer, you just need to know how to write code.
