"I've worked at Boeing since late 2018. The office that we work in is incredibly old, and is a massive, depressing cube farm. The company is old and is riddled with red tape and bureaucracy; many teams struggle to get the necessary tools to do their job correctly. My role as a DSP engineer consisted of creating models in Simulink and verification scripts in MATLAB for 8-9 hours a day, along with various meetings. All of my work had to adhere to specific requirements flowed down from a separate team. As a hardware design engineer, I was surprised and disappointed to find out that my team hardly ever gets to perform testing on the actual hardware; we only get to deal with simulations of our subsystem models (in Simulink)."
