People have misconceptions about tech companies - that you already need to have specific skills. When I started, I had no idea what a wafer was, and I worked my way up with internal and external training to become a supervisor. With two small babies, the compressed work week allows me to spend time with family and have time for hobbies.

I've worked here for 14 years - starting out in production, moving up to a lead, and now I am a training coordinator. They work with you on personal development. It's a great place for creating a career!

I've worked for SkyWater for 19 years because I love the compressed work hours that are great for my kids.
