DC Sessions had business cards that actually said "Mad Scientist"!
For the general public, I usually use "consultant". When they find out I am
an Electrical Engineer, their eyes glaze over. Very few people get as far
as IBIS and SI. (Something about being female in this industry....)

Jeff,
Sometimes I tell people that I am an Electron Herder.=20
But mostly I tell people that I keep the electrons from leaking out of
computers.

Subject: [SI-LIST] What do you do?
Sorry if this is a little off-task, but ABOUT the most perplexing problem
I've had for a while is answering the question "So, what do you do?". I
faced this again while buying a dirt bike in the panhandle of Idaho - not a
place exactly full of E-mag expertise (though maybe a certain eastern
Washingtoner might have relatives there?). After years of blank looks, I've
never found a good answer. I mostly resort to "I design computers" or
something like that. Does anyone have a good SHORT explanation of what a
"Signal Integrity Engineer" does, for the general public, who think "fast
busses" is an oxymoron? I recently heard of "Microwave Plumber" and am
thinking that comes pretty close!
Thanks,
Jeff Loyer
