## Questions
|
|
- How do you see the past year? What are the main achievements? and what are the main improvements?
|
|
- major decisions. finalized parachutes, leds, carrier, pdb --> positive!
|
|
- elec. architecture --> good.
|
|
- not great: a lot of changes, some work got cancelled --> 10s but for nothing
|
|
- yourself and your work with respect to company
|
|
- able to handle the changes that are happening.
|
|
- new things like bms, leds, etc (quick learner)
|
|
- Improvements
|
|
- spelling
|
|
- documentation
|
|
- get more efficient and more things that need to get done (not always in his hands)
|
|
- multiple projects at the same time makes hard
|
|
|
|

|
- What do you like about the job? Anything you disliked?
|
|
- product (we are making something futuristic --> awesome!)
|
|
- exciting to see issues that come up in the field (launch) --> things that we did not think about during design.
|
|
- avionics.
|
|
- Floris, Claudio (TEAM) --> smart, interesting team. no company politics, not toxic, people are listening, open minded
|
|
- Job profile:
|
|
- you want to contribute in software. (production development, interested in adding software)
|
|
- functional programming for embedded (low power micro controllers) (RAM, ROM) in C ()
|
|
- 3D-Design (a lot of experience --> mold making to avoid scenes) BMF (plastic molding)
|
|
- What do you think should be improved?
|
|
- What would you like to see from my side / the company's side?
|
|
- engaging him im more different things (software) --> for his career
|
|
- he'd like to have realigning everyone and letting know about where we're going and
|
|
- he's hazy about how far we have gone --> missing vision. Whats our roadmap
|
|
- Feedback Claudio
|
|
- pcb works first time because I make good review. catch mistakes
|
|
- communicating what needs to be done.
|
|
- teaching critical thinking.
|
|
- parallel documentation? eliminate. vidit can choose
|
|
|
|
### What about me?
|
|
- Anything you want to share with me about me or the company? positive feedback? critics?
|
|
|
|
## Feedback
|
|
### Good Points
|
|
- you do a good job with documenting on confluence
|
|
- Most of the pcbs work the first time we order them, congratulations!
|
|
### Possible Improvements
|
|
- Often when I did reviews, the files are quite messy (old comments not updated, wrong labels, wrong arrow directions)
|
|
- if you do experiments make sure to properly write down everything that is needed to reproduce the experiment without any prior knowledge
