Former USN Submarine Sonartech for 8 yrs, then a Software Tester (back in the days when companies actually cared about finding bugs and fixing them before releasing their software to the unsuspecting masses), and now I act like a Sr. Battery Systems and Failure Analysis Engineer for consumer electronics.

Would love to hear what everyone does for work, aka "the most interesting question you'll get asked at a party" ;). I imagine there are some really interesting occupations among us.

To start, I design software for big companies (UX/UI), I founded a startup in the automotive space, and I design/build websites.
Union Pipefitter for 25 years. Commercial heating air conditioning and process piping.

EE & IT degrees led to a "hybrid" career as VP Operations at a manufacturing control systems engineering/integration company. When I'm not managing projects/people, my hands on work is mostly IT engineering related stuff these days - plant floor network design/config, etc. Also a co-owner at a microbrewery, managing brewery operations and the outside sales guy, and overseeing the restaurant managers. I work 60-70 hours a week, love it.

EVP, paving highways to drive these awesome vehicles
Manage grown ass babies with attitude, ego, and many times common sense issues, all in an effort to provide the ability for America to travel across the great state of Texas.

Short answer, I work at a materials and paving contractor.

I put plenty of miles on my vehicles. I can’t wait to utilize my R1S on the roads around the hill country of Texas

After the past two days? Being an investor in RIVN seems to be my main occupation.
These days, that seems to be a growing career path.

I'm a Union Electrician working for a contractor at Intel's main research and development campus in Hillsboro, Oregon. I'm a foreman in the specialty field of control and instrumentation. I also do the telecom/date work for my company on site. I've been an electrician for 32 years and I never thought I'd make the money I do without having to wear a suit.
