I have been offered a position in test development at ViaSat Inc. They just launched their ViaSat-2 satellite recently, and yes, their simple mission is essentially global domination.. to provide global communication and access. Imagine the impact it can have, for everyone, everywhere, 3rd world countries, to have access to information and knowledge, be self-sufficient to learn and improve livelihood.
Not only commercial communications, but also military and government.. to keep troops and law enforcement with better means of remote and stable communication access under critical situations (thoughts are with Vegas right now).
The past several months... actually, heck.. the past year has been filled with up and down challenges with the uncertainties of the job. I enjoyed very much what I was working on, seeing my career change and grow with more responsibilities the past several years, and facing a lot of work challenges. While the career growth was great, the company was not. I worked for my team, but was disheartened by a general callousness of a company focused solely on profits for the higher ups.
I was inspired by friends and former colleagues that found new frontiers in biomedical tech companies, in companies with philanthropic missions, making advancements for the benefit of mankind. I'm hopeful for a new company, a new direction where my background can still be utilized and I can place my contributions towards a beneficial cause, global communications and support for STEM education.
