Re: What's your day job?

I work in Chrysler Powertrain developing realtime embedded software in C and Simulink. I'm actually a co-op student, so I rotate through a bunch of different 3-month positions twice a year (and go to school for the other 6 months). I'm at work during robotics build season, in the same building as 33's shop, so it's really awesome. This term I'm writing software. Maybe next term I'll be doing something else.

I have 4 major bullets on my resume. 3 of the 4 involved embedded software development in Simulink, the fourth was FIRST and includes LabVIEW.

Developing embedded RT software makes me really hate inefficient code (and Java).
