What technical skills are important to being successful in your job (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, ProE, math, physics, or chemistry)?
I don’t use many purely engineering technical skills at my job at Palm. My first job at KLATencor (1.5 years employed; hired out of school from Cal Poly) was much more technical. This job is more project management, tracking, reporting, and negotiating. My current job requires technical knowledge on the product(s) that I’m working on, and on the background/infrastructure that makes it happen. This background includes cellular technology, memory architecture, computers, LCDs, and other handheld computing related technology. The more process knowledge I learn about Palm as a company, and how we get things done (operationally with our call centers or with our partners, from manufacturing in Taiwan to repairing units in Mexico), the more effective I am in my position.
