《財富》美國500強公司8大酷到沒朋友的工作崗位
游戲研發團隊工程師兼負責人——Gamestop公司 ????阿希姆?納克維從小就是個游戲迷【他是玩《宇宙救援》(Asteroids)的高手】?,F在這位工程師喜歡開玩笑說他就是靠打游戲謀生的。他五年前從摩托羅拉公司(Motorola)跳槽到GameStop公司。他說:“當時知道有這個工作機會時,我的孩子們比我還興奮?!?/p> ????他和他的團隊主要是為修理游戲機的常見問題開發解決方案。這些游戲機都是顧客在GameStop店里折價換購留下的。納克維和團隊開發修理方案時正是這份工作最有趣的部分:為了確保解決方案管用,他們要打上千個小時的游戲,最后才會把修理指南交給公司的技術人員。他說:“我可不想錯過這個?!边@份工作的另一個好處是:納克維能很早就接觸到新推出的游戲機,還能開發平板游戲手柄這樣的產品。 |
Engineer and Lead on the Research & Development Team - Gamestop ????Asim Naqvi was an avid gamer as a kid (he’s a master at Asteroids), and now the engineer likes to joke that he plays video games for a living. Naqvi made the move to GameStop five years ago from Motorola. “When the opportunity came up, my kids were even more excited than I was,” he says. ????He and his team develop the recipes for fixing the common failings of gaming consoles, which customers can trade in at GameStop stores. The fun part comes when Naqvi and his team develop a fix: they then spend hundreds of hours playing video games to make sure their solution works before passing on instructions to the company’s technicians. “I’m not going to be left out of that,” he says. Another perk: Naqvi gets early access to newly introduced gaming platforms and works on developing products like a controller for gaming on tablets. |
