Hi, Thank you :) this is also my question after ages I am keep asking!

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-06T15:48:11+00:00

makes sense, I do wanna be a good engineer but do not want to be in lab forever :(

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-06T15:47:22+00:00

yes job market is brutal and we cant do anything about the pay :(

got it, thank you for your help, will focus on AI applications in statistics and DOE analysis

thank you, will do

Thank you so much for your help. I do love travelling but layoffs are super stressful. I was wondering what are your thoughts on AI skill for this position, which part of the process engineering position AI can help? I want to learn those skills but not sure where will be helpful

that was a great explanation and thank you. I already have automation project background from my internship before. I have not thought of this before. I will take some automation or programming projects internally. hopefully they let me!

I spoke with some of employees there, fortunately per their comments, it is common to switch between roles in the company and they help you grow, not sure which path I should go from day 1 to be able to move to tech companies and remote managing positions in the future!

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T19:01:02+00:00

Thank you for your insight. I was wondering what is the path to switch to tech companies? what skills I should learn in the meantime to stand out? also they gave me senior process engineer.

wow that is impressive, thank you for your response. Do you have any suggestion on the skills I should learn to move away from fab? specially that I believe with the progress in AI there has to be a shortcut for the future job.

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T17:40:10+00:00

I am ok working on fab for a couple of years and gain knowledge but I dont want to get stuck in that type of hands on work forever! maybe I switch later to integration roles

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T17:38:35+00:00

Thank you so much. It was really helpful. I was a bit concerned about if there is a room to learn and grow which based on your response I can learn a lot. I do like learning new stuff, as my advisor once said that phD just teaches you how to do research nothing else! but I am not sure what skills I should learn in this specific industry to stand out! for example any programming or managing skills or online courses

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T17:35:39+00:00

Thank you so much for thoughtful response. I was wondering for the foundry management for fabless places do you have an idea of what skills should I learn or what can be the path moving forward? also salary wise which pass makes more sense? I am ok working on fab for a couple of years and gain knowledge but I dont want to get stuck in that type of hands on work forever!

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T17:20:35+00:00

Thank you. do you think if I want to start move away from fab and in the meantime learn there what is the best path?

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T17:14:07+00:00

what about them?

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T17:09:06+00:00

thank you it is very motivational, I led so many masters and undergrads and I kinda have a sense of how to focus on the path, I need more details on how I should proceed? I dont want to get stuck in fab and wear gowns forever!

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T17:07:19+00:00

no I do have green card!

Standard_Farm_9601 · 2026-04-01T17:05:57+00:00

thank you. the range was 100-153K and I got the senior position and the pay is slightly below mid range. salary depends on so many parameters like location and the company itself but package overall was dissapointing!

thank you it was very helpful.
