She accepted a job offer with Motorola in the company's Engineering Rotation Program. Everybody should try for a rotation program because it gives you a really good perspective of what it is like to work in a company, and it shows you all the different jobs and functions that are available.
Many companies offer a rotation program for new engineering hires.
Each rotation lasts three months. It can be one of the rotation positions, or it can be an entirely different position within the company. She designed and ran experiments to investigate the use of the wet chemical etch process to eliminate a backmetal peeling problem. During this rotation, she learned to use analytical tools such as the scanning electron microscope and the atomic force microscope. Using modeling programs, she also extracted parameters which were important to Motorola's circuit designers.
