These last years, I came under the impression that you currently can only find ML driven software engineering jobs (I am exagerating of course), and having done quite a bit of ML and software engineering, I now know that I don&amp;#x27;t want my future job be like this.&lt;p&gt;A company like ASML gives me hope. Do you know by chance if there are similar companies (complex engineering, with physics, maths, chemistry, computer science, ...) that are located in Switzerland ?</text><parent_chain><item><author>CookiesNCream23</author><text>I work in the industry and have worked in a fab.
