BACKGROUND

Agilent Technologies is the world's premier measurement company. Agilent provides core electronic and bio-analytical measurement tools to advance the electronics, communications, life science research, environmental and petrochemical industries. We're creating the tools and technologies that are changing the way we understand our world. If you're creative, adaptive, willing to learn and have more fun than ever before - join Agilent today. Visit http://www.jobs.agilent.com. Our people make the difference. Agilent's pioneering spirit was kindled more than 60 years ago, when two engineers - Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard - invented the future in their garage. In 1999, Agilent was spun off from Hewlett-Packard Company, and we have continued to support the values so important to the two visionary founders. While, physically, we have outgrown HP's garage, we continue to live the values handed down from Bill and Dave: uncompromising integrity: trust, respect and teamwork: and innovation that makes a difference.
