After two years of working for Mobile Semiconductor, the only independent vendor of memory compilers, I want to gain more knowledge about new cutting-edge technologies by returning to school. I have a passion for improving my professional career, so I enjoy taking graduate courses in embedded systems at the University of Washington. This can allow me to stay up to date with the latest technologies in my chosen field and also help me develop a new area of ​​expertise to further my professional career. I still remember the date I immigrated to the United States; I had to face so many obstacles in life and at school. All these difficulties, including financial difficulties, language and cultural barriers, have had a crucial impact on my life. However, I live in a family with many members who immigrated to the United States a long time ago, who are engineers and have better lives simply because they made the effort. Without efforts, you cannot succeed in this country. I have a passion for programming code and building electronic circuits. I always wonder how the IC chip is made and the person who made it must be so “talented”. I can't imagine there are billions of transistors in a tiny IC chip. This inspires me curious to know more about this field and hence I decided to become an electrical engineer focusing on VLSI field. I remember my teacher told his class that VLSI circuit is present everywhere from our computer to cell phone, tablet and any other electronic device we use. This is such an impressive statement that inspires me to continue pursuing this field. Back in my sophomore and senior year at the University of Washington, I had great opportunities to work on in-depth synthesis projects: SRAM, two-stage op-amp, and MISP. processor design. Working on these projects gave me a ...... middle of paper ...... and skills that I developed in school and in internships. Throughout the projects, I accumulate my professional experience and develop a certain number of skills, notably problem solving and creativity. I helped my company debug the design flaws of the charging board and silicon test chip. I also found ideas to make the work efficient, like reducing the testing time of BIST on a test chip by testing all SRAM and ROM instances in parallel instead of testing a single instance at a time, developing a process independent, temperature and voltage supply. for the reference generator circuit. Today, as a rapidly evolving technology field, with such a significant reduction, VLSI design and embedded systems are extremely challenging for engineers, especially test engineers. With the support of my current company, I decided to return to school to obtain a graduate degree to hone my skills..
