Interesting Tech Challenges

A software engineer, Cyril feels that his role allows him to use tech in a particularly innovative way. He explains: 鈥淭he chip that鈥檚 developed here is very innovative and good in what it does. The way I control it and make it work is similar to how I would have previously worked. But the way it鈥檚 used and the purpose it鈥檚 built for is really innovative.鈥

Along with Cyril, Francesco and Hang are part of the Dublin-based team. With a PhD in the area of micro-location, Hang made the move to Dublin last year and is relishing the chance to put her expertise to work.
She says: 鈥淢y PhD work is also on the whole area of indoor-location, which is exactly what I work in now so I鈥檓 very lucky. We know that GPS does a really good job outside, but doesn鈥檛 work as well inside buildings so we鈥檙e working on creating a solution for those locations. At the very beginning, I worked on system testing, and right now I work on the system design and on improving performance. Our chip is doing really well now, so it鈥檚 great to see.鈥

Part of the analogue design team, Francesco searched for a new challenge before joining the company earlier this year. 鈥淚 wanted to do something new and when I got the offer, I decided to come and sign the contract. It was a big Christmas present for me!鈥 he says. 鈥淭he RF design is something new for me, it鈥檚 different than what I was working on before so I鈥檓 really happy to learn.鈥

A Good Work/Life Balance

For the team in Decawave, Dublin offers a good work/life balance. While the day-to-day work is challenging, the pace of life means that the team can spend time with friends and family too.
With a new baby girl joining Cyril and his wife shortly after their move, he is very positive about raising a family in Dublin. 鈥淢y wife is in a breastfeeding group and she鈥檚 met a lot of people through it. It鈥檚 organised by geographic area, so all the people she meets are based locally and it鈥檚 a good way to make friends. She鈥檚 happy, she really likes where we are, and we like the whole city,鈥 he explains.
For Hang, Dublin鈥檚 multicultural foodie scene is the perfect way to unwind. She says: 鈥淢y husband and I are both from China and we love to cook. I go to the Asian market in the city centre a lot and I was really happy to see that Asian food is really popular here. People really like spicy food!鈥

It鈥檚 a really good place to live. I鈥檓 happy here 鈥 you can find everything in Dublin.

Moving to 黑料网

For anyone considering a move, Cyril is enthusiastic about the prospects for tech professionals here. He explains: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a really nice country, so I would recommend for people to come. The people are really one of the strengths of the country because they are warm and helpful. And on the employment side, there are a lot of jobs available and companies here.鈥
While Francesco says that people should take a chance on Dublin. 鈥淚 would recommend the place to everyone,鈥 he says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a really good place to live. I鈥檓 happy here 鈥 you can find everything in Dublin.鈥 Originally from Italy, he jokes: 鈥淚 love the food here, you can find every kind of restaurant here. No Italian though.
