Someone posted something about looking for an architect and there were quite a few here so it got me wondering—we all drive interesting cars, what do you do to make that possible.

My bet is a lot of us have pretty “cool” jobs if we were interested in such quirky cars.

Previously was an all wheel drive system Engineer. Started doing development of transfer cases, eventually did software to control center and rear differentials for both traction and vehicle stability. Involved lots of travel to many cool places. Worked with most OEMs over the years, the ones with AWD vehicles anyway.
That company moved out of town as I was starting a family so I left to stay local. Now I'm slumming it as an Aerospace Hydraulics Engineer.
I drove countless vehicles at almost every vehicle development facility in the world. So far no one has let me fly or taxi an aircraft. 😞

Can't say my job is that interesting, but I'm a computer/network technician. I feel like an IT everyman at my current job, doing regular desktop support, network switch changes, and the occasional database work.

 

[Midenginer]

I'm one of the architects here. My first job out of school was as a tile apprentice, now have my own practice. Our bread and butter is industrial but we do all types of commercial projects like office buildings, bars/restaurants, retail centers and parking structures. Probably our most interesting are film and television studios which we design and consult on internationally.

Wow. I know maybe one person with a longer, more disparate set of jobs. Maybe.
