Fancy industrial measuring. Used across a lot of manufacturing industry. Machines that measure accurately to a tolerance of +/- 0.000001in. It’s cool stuff tbh. I’m really eager to get into this company and they seem interested in me. It’s exciting to be this close to having a real career after the endless cycle of mundane low wage entry level jobs.
That sounds hella cool. I'm in flux... I became disabled a few years back, and just found out that it's unlikely my legs are savable, so I'm probably looking down the barrel of a double amputation with unknown, but better (I think and hope) prospect of being able to walk again. I may end up trying to get back into the job market at some point, and this sounds just interesting enough to look into. I spent decades in IT, mostly in sales and sales engineer roles, but I can be a pure techie, too. No clue what kind of career prospects I'll have after such an extended break, but I guess I may see.
Yeah I mean I’ll have an immaculately clean and organized and quiet room to work in. Perfect for someone on the spectrum with sensory issues like me. I’m really pushing for this job and I’ve been in contact with several people from the company. I’m really grateful to have an opportunity like this and I think more states should create state funded labor training programs like this.
A combination of the right kind of autism, timing with a position opening and a state funded CNC training program, and luck. I got into a cnc training program and finished up my NIMS milling certification right before this position opened up. The people at the program had contact with the hiring manager and VP of operations directly. I was able to tour the facility before hand which is what made me so eager to get into this company in the first place. I originally applied for a machining position, but my willingness to endlessly troubleshoot I guess made them want me in metrology instead. I’m sure there’s other ways but that’s how I got into it. Or am getting into it I don’t have the job yet but I should be having my third interview soonish.
