¡°ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã provides employees a very nurturing environment early in their career to learn and develop skills. Understanding things at a fundamental level is an inherent part of the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã culture.”
¡°My first job here involved mechanical control of robot arms. Over time, I got to work with world-class optical engineers from ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and our vendors, which was a fantastic learning experience and fostered a deep interest in optics and imaging. This slowly led to a more specialized interest in the computational side of image processing. During this time, ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã enabled me to pursue my interest by facilitating academic learning opportunities for me in emerging image processing techniques using machine learning. I completed a graduate certification in Systems Engineering from Stanford University thanks to this support. A deep understanding of both software and hardware aspects of one of ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s products enabled me to explore several roles at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã including Applications Engineering and Marketing. I am thankful to the company for providing me these incredible opportunities for personal growth. A return back to Engineering enabled me to be a well-rounded contributor to ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã in my current role.¡±
