Anything else you'd like to misinterpret?
You could clarify one more thing for me...
As a semiconductor process engineer, what was your role?
Now this is pure speculation from my own imagination(a disclaimer you are free to use), but did you sit at a pick and place machine, and call the supervisor if any lights started flashing?
I'm sure he got sick of you calling him BEFORE the lights started flashing, with a hunch.
LOL. You're not even close. I do process development for wafer fabrication equipment - I can't get much more specific than that without giving away my company, which I am not inclined to do (there are only a handful of WFE companies in the world).
Suffice to say I was involved with the engineering development of equipment that has touched almost every modern electronic device you own (which is a natural consequence of there being only a handful of WFE companies I suppose).
And I actually get paid to express my hunches about problems. Was that what you wanted to know?
