I have been working as a requirements engineer in Denso from past 5 years. As a requirements engineer: 1. I directly talk to auto OEMs ( Ford, Toyota) to understand their requirements, develop use case , and impact analysis I work with leadership to provide feedback on customer requests. 2. I also work on developing process in compliant with regulated auto industry. 3. I decompose customer requirements and create low level implementation requirements to help software engineer develop the product. 4. I own the change management and requirements review for my product. I can read ,understand , and debug code. I do not have software development background. As a requirements engineer, I don’t know what are my career options, if i don’t decide i may be stuck at the same level with low pay in cold Michigan. What are the best career options for requirements engineer? I don’t want to do MBA. Yoe: 8.5 , TC: $115K #tech #faang #argoai #tesla

Today in California will be 71. I see people running shirtless every day, in the winter... Why would someone stay on the cold? Your experience is valuable, find a way to describe it matching the terms of job openings.
