Career in formula one

Hi, I graduated from Bachelors in electronic engineering 1 year ago. I am currently working in pcb design review. I am looking for other jobs to pursue but none of them interest me. While looking for jobs I found that there is a whole lot electronics engineering involved in formula one team.

My question are

  1. How do I pursue my career in this?
  2. When I looking for jobs most of the available jobs were senior roles. How to pursue careers as 1+ year experience engineer?
  3. Is there any specific skills or certifications that I should be taking?
  4. Is the salary good?

Damaged q9 replacement

Hi. Hope this is a good place for this post.

I sold a working Boss rc5 guitar looper pedal on eBay. Buyer said it didn’t work. Sent off to Roland and they said an ‘inappropriate power supply’ had been used. Damn!!
The picture below was sent with the mail which seems to show a burnt out element in the centre of the picture. Does anybody know if it’s ‘doable’ to try to replace this? And can anyone identify what it is I should buy to replace it?
I’m so annoyed with the buyer but cannot do anything to prove they broke this £170 pedal.

Any help much appreciate.

thanks

Microsoft Silicon Engineer Intern Interview Tips

Hey guys, I have an interview with Microsoft for the position of Silicon Engineer Intern in a couple of days, and I was wondering if any of you had attended their interviews before and could share their experience, what questions they had asked and any tips on how I could prepare for it. It would be of great help. Please let me know if you are aware of it. Thank you!

Interview with AMD for a hardware co-op position

Just feeling a little bit anxious about my interview in a couple days with AMD. It's for a hardware position, specifically GPU board hardware. The description on the posting entails computer architecture, python knowledge, and lab equipment knowledge. Anyone interview with AMD for a position similar and know what I should be expecting? It's a 45 min call over MS teams so i'm not sure the level of technical i should be expecting. Anything would help!

Microsoft Hardware Engineering Intern Interview

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has interviewed with Microsoft for a electrical (hardware) engineering internship before? I'm not entirely sure what to expect. In the email my recruiter sent, he said to be comfortable with computer science fundamentals, OOP, and data structures, which I feel fine with but I thought it was a bit strange since I thought it would be more hardware focused lol. . Any feedback or comments would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Minority carriers in a n-p-n BJT

Hi there!
Can someone clearify my doubts about it?
I wondering why if you measure the concentration excess of electrons on the reversed bias junction in a n-p-n bjt you don't find that is negative?
Here there is an example: (it's called n_xp2)
https://lampz.tugraz.at/~hadley/psd/L13/minority.php

If you follow the law of the junction it says that the excess must be equal to n_bo * exp( [e*V2 / V_t] -1) but V2 is negative because is reversed bias so the final value must be -n_b0 that is minus the equilibrium concentration of the minority carriers in the base

Programming feels boring

Title. Im an electronics student, first year, im really enjoying math and other subjects(havent started on core electronics yet) but programming feels incredibly boring. Im scoring good but it just feels very menial, i mean learning different syntax based on the same logic, everytime i try to learn a new language seems incredibly boring, are there career options with minimal coding? Or is there any way to make coding fun?

Too late for me?

I'm a 5th year senior EE in my capstone course. I've been gaining alot of experience there and although I have some electrical work experience (building/residential wiring sidejobs to make money) I have never had an intership. I didn't really apply to many at the time I was working and now I'm beginning to think I've made a mistake. Would getting an internship out of college be feasible or even sensible at this point? I'm just lost as I do not know many people are in my position. I've seen people say it doesn't matter much but i feel those are usually people that entered the industry years ago and I'm looking for advice from people recently who have been in my position. Thanks for any help or advice it is very appreciated. (side note I am actively applying to internships and jobs regardless I just wanted an idea of what I should be doing)

When to start applying for post grad jobs?

So I am a senior in college graduating in the spring, and I was curious when to start applying for postgrad jobs. I know that when applying for internships, you can start applying a whole year before because the company you are applying to knows you won’t start until the summer but for a full-time job it seems like it’s more a rolling offer type deal. If I get to the interview stage and they ask when i can start I feel like itll be a quick no if i say 8 months.

Those who are actively applying for internships

How do you manage to do it with the busy course schedules we have? I wanna be proactive in applying and networking as I’m in my junior year but I barely have any time left by the time I’m done with exams and assignments.
