Here is the job description.
Travel with Sales Engineers to customer sites to provide product presentation and support. Continually develop knowledge base of current and new products. Create and maintain professional relationships with customers. The idea candidate will have a strong aptitude for electro-mechanical work, good time management and organizational skills and excellent customer service and sales skills.
So it similar to what I'm doing right now, except it adds sales and I deal with customers face to face.
which field of engineer? my gf is also an FAE and she was EECS with emphasis on bio engineering.

an application engineer typically does custom tweaking to make a program suit a specific customer need. sounds like you will just be there to make sure said tweaks run and implement smoothly on a sales call. does that mean you would have extensive traveling?
and an application engineer would be no place for a mech or electrical engineer.

the company is a hardware company so it will be hardware i have to deal with
not sure if it will be extensive traveling but I will probably travel two or three days out of week. perhaps one to two weeks a month during the peak seasons.
It's my first day.

i assumed this was in line with your experiences at adaptec and assumed it would be more of a software related nature. if it is indeed electrical hardware it proly would serve a good home for a trained electrical engineer.

without hardware i couldnt write software....hmm
they make us use a pen and paper to write our term papers.
i dont support software, i support customers that shouldn't be using the internet to check the weather, much less perform online banking.

so after you write your "code" on the piece of paper and then what? read it to everyone?
well whatever you call it I know how much it sucks.
when EZ CD creator used to be owned by Adaptec, all the guys that supported that ish got burned out in 6months, 9 if they were lucky.
