I'm BSc EE and
I work as a Components Specialist for a heavy weight international
corporation that has its' roots here in Finland. My main responsibility
is in the area of construction- and failure-analysis of integrated
circuits.
In doing that
I operate systems like Scanning Electron Microsope (largely imaging),
Energy Dispersive Spectrometer, (partly imaging), X-ray Radiography
(solely imaging) and I do Optical Microscopy, Macroscopy and Photographic
Imaging that gets documented with Canon EOS*DCS 3 digital camera (solely
imaging). For documentation purposes I use an Umax Powerlook
III scanner.
This work also
involves a method called Destructive Physical Analysis that is actually
advanced chemical and micro-mechanical sample preparation (not at
all about imaging).
It also involves material analysis, electronics, circuit diagram analysis,
parametric measurements, electron physics, characterization, statistical
data analysis, training, technical contacts with component vendors
and much more. In overall it is quite interesting job and actually
fun.
I'm not going to tell you about my private life as then it would not
be private anymore !
