My Hopeful Future

As stated in the previous post I may have a job fairly soon after I graduate. And like I mentioned it has nothing to do with Electrical Engineering...

Working at The Reserve has given me a lot of contacts at Nike Golf, and most of these contacts are way up the food chain. I recently had a meeting with the top Test Engineer for the Golf Ball division. It was a really good meeting and he was really impressed with me. I will also be having a meeting with the top Design Engineer in the near future.

My guess is that I am going to be turned into a Test Engineer for them. This would consist of testing golf ball manufacturing components and provide performance data to R&D Engineers. I would perform lab tests on golf balls, which would include weight, size, compression, durometer, hitting machine test, Coefficient of Restitution testing, durability testing, and the best part of all, human performance test with a radar launch monitor.

The radar launch monitor is awesome! Its a $50,000 system that consists of two radar sensors and two intense laptops to process data. It can detect spin rates and track the ball for the whole flight of the shot. It is an incredible system that anyone, not just tech-nerds like me, would think is awesome.

This sounds like it would kick ass! Hopefully something like this works out, I guess we'll found out.
