Work is very important for sure! But in the end we should not forget we are humans, and too much work will burn you out. Actually, an excess of anything is not healthy in our lives (think about too much sport, too much eating, too much sleep etc.), and we need balance in our lives. I firmly believe that working SMART will bring way more benefits than just work HARD, especially in our industry. In fact engineers do not chose the semiconductor industry for the ease, but at Micron I am able to achieve what I could not in my previous company: work effectively AND a balanced life.

What do you like about your job and the company?

In Micron we have a GREAT teamwork in every department, especially when we are facing problems. I think my team is especially good when it comes to teamwork, and I love collaborating with my team members! Another awesome thing we do is going on team bonding activities, to get closer to each other, which is not something you get for granted in every company.

Greatest achievements

The project I am in charge of is an x-ray inspection tool with automation, and my team and I were able to achieve the successful criterias to implement this tool in only 1,5 years. If you work in this industry you know how long this kind of things take. For me this was definitely the greatest achievement!

Top Insider Advice

When starting your career in an industry, the first few months involve a steep learning curve. Your primary focus should be to grasp knowledge as much as possible. Apart from this, you should maintain proper notes of all the tools and software, which will help you to work independently in the future. Try to involve yourself with new projects to get the experience of the current flow in the industry. Be professional and confident will help you to set you as a valuable person in your team. In some situations, you may have to make tough decisions, so be ready for that.
