My time at Diodes has allowed me to greatly improve my management and planning skills and allowed me to work and share ideas with a great team of supportive members. I’ve gotten to work though the full semiconductor production qualification life cycle and use the knowledge I’ve gained from my university course to tackle challenging problems along the way. I look forward to applying the skills I’ve learned from this placement in my final university year and in my future career.
