Oh I do have a corporate backing. Basically our field offers no jobs without

I've certainly got more than enough experience in DSP research.

But on the other hand if you're not a js/python brainlet you're very valuable in companies. The last company I worked in was genuinely impressed by my Java and C skills

what do you specialize in? @Luckbot

CS is big cash. Backend software devs get showered in money

Control Theory and Automation

cool, that's very close to what I'm doing

@Luckbot I hope :D My next internship should be COBOL and Java EE in a bank (if I'm accepted)

Mostly did control optimization for powerplants and other energy supply

right

I've had to refresh and expand my knowledge in control theory recently

But right now I automate public pools xD

as one of the projects I've been working on has a lot to do with system identification

And do the front end. Programm buttons to trigger a filter flushing...

Ah nice

whats with these non-pings

of course it's nothing new for me but, you know, DSP nomenclature and methods of analysis are a bit different from those used in control theory

Yeah noticed that 😄 I made a big circle around DSP and HF in university and never touched it after looking into the basics of wave equations

>CS is big cash. Backend software devs get showered in money
compared to the level of knowledge required - yes

but mathematical modelling of control systems etc. is also rather lucrative

few people can do this, even fewer do it well and they're in BIG demand

same for HDL experts

Definitely yes. Shitty company is shitty because we are utterly understaffed. We'd need like three times as many people to properly do jobs and not just make everyone the girl for everything

any moron can _program_

but describing a piece of hardware using a hardware design language requires a strong EE background

My only problem is that I'm inflexible about location

right

I did a bit of HDL but found it pretty dull. But maybe just a shitty instructor I guess

I mean, I also find it boring as hell

<:haha:318675605233336330>

but 1. it's not very exciting (few people will do it out of passion) 2. it's very much in demand (a lot of companies need hdl specialists so much that they're willing to train them themselves)

Ah that would kill me longterm 😄 My motivation to work is terribly low for a german

I do have a passion for control problems though

I'm only _really_ motivated by the exciting stuff

ye

same here

Like optimize a trajectory through a N-dimensional discrete space without doing a complete search. Just to make a powerplant run cheaper

noice

I've recently solved a nice control problem in system identification

but I can't tell you anything yet, I'm waiting for corporate to proceed with the patent application <:haha:318675605233336330>
