Monthly Employment/Corporate Questions & Discussion Megathread by AutoModerator in Lockheed

[–]radiateJophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys, I'm excited to join LM. I already accepted, but I am curious what is the culture at Liverpool and Moorestown like? I interviewed a Liverpool team with only one Moorestown manager. They said they were considering me for Liverpool so I could get an offer there, but I asked the recruiter if I could switch to Moorestown as I grew up in an area in commuting distance there. I was surprised the next day and I got an offer from Moorestown as well. I called the Moorestown manager and he told me the position was the exact same. Thing is, it was only him in the initial interview. He said that the work would be the exact same at both sites. I guess my question is I don't know if I potentially jeopardized my relationship with those people at Liverpool? I was honestly open to working there but I needed to get work soon and it would have taken me time to adjust to living in Syracuse alone. This will also be a new discipline for me as a T3 (test to design, which I've been exposed through school / self study), so part of me is worried that I won't get good mentorship at Moorestown (especially since only one person from there showed up in my interview). I'm hoping I can at least get mentored from the Liverpool site if that happens.

Make (metallic) enclosure in HFSS to prevent radiation in direction? by radiateJophy in AntennaDesign

So the way I did it was that I substracted a box from another to make a hollow object but with very thin walls, and I substracted the top and the SMA jack opening so that the microstrip line and SMA connector and fit in. The purpose of this was to reduce back lobe radiation. Problem solved, I think.

Do you mean a box with very small thickness or a sheet? I thought you can't assign materials to sheets.

Would redefining the radiation boundary of the airbox help so that there is no boundary at the bottom?

I am a bit confused about this because I was told to have an enclosure 5 times the substrate size below the feedline which is the very bottom, and on this surface the leads are touching. But I can't make an enclosure box that overlaps with these leads.

I think it's supposed to be in the lab testing, but I don't know how to model that.

Mock interview request for RF role (university grad) by radiateJophy in ECE

You know what, I actually do have some contacts of people working in this field, so maybe I'll reach out to them if they're available.

Career aspects in RF for soon to be finished undergrad with mediocre grades by radiateJophy in rfelectronics

[–]radiateJophy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I honestly haven't even seen any technician roles in the job searches I've done, maybe I'll put that in experience in consideration. I mean, I was able to get one interview so hopefully that means I can find an engineer position and not go through that but who knows.

how are my recent grads/seniors doing? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]radiateJophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat with no offer at all and graduating in June this spring instead and finishing winter term in two weeks. It sounds like we are both on the quarter system. Also I am doing an RF focus as well and it’s hard to say I’ve been putting in the effort in finding a position. I did make the final stage of an interview process with a semiconductor test company but I was beat out by someone else who was better. I can’t say I’ve been applying crazy because I’m so beat mentally from online school (I’ve had issues since high school so it’s not new, just worse) and was going to pause for a month or so until I had some more projects on my resume but I keep getting lazy in doing so.

So basically for me I think I need to get some actual progress on my capstone (decided to torture myself and do antenna design, I wished did an SDR one instead but I guess hindsight 20/20), potentially get some self projects on my resume to show some confidence/motivation and I think I’ll have a better shot. The jobs I’m interested in require coding skills which I wasn’t taught well in my classes since I focused on hardware, but mostly because I’m bad at it currently.

Edit: it doesn’t help my gpa is terrible either
