I'll be a Systems and Controls Engineer with the powertrain group.

I could have guessed that. That's the generic job description of 80% of the people working there. Lol. You don't know details about who your manager is or what team?

The only other thing I know is that I'm working on the 2.0L/2.4L FWD platform doing durability testing. I'm sure I'll find out more today.

Bored in Jackson? Yeah, thats kind of normal. I was born and raised there, moved away about 4 years ago.

Some tips: Stay away from Francis street, particularly at night. Its a good place to get pulled over for "driving while white".
For a good dinner at a reasonable price, hit up Finleys steakhouse. Its located right in front of Walmart. Hudson's grill is right out by you, they are a good burger type joint.
If you like to read, there is an excellent used bookstore downtown.
When/if you decide to buy a place in the area, STAY OUT of city limits. Jackson charges 1% city taxes.
Jackson Pizza Factory has the best pizza in the area, and The Dog House on Lansing ave has a KILLER selection of hotdogs. And their fries are outstanding.
If you are looking for something to do in town...good luck. There are a couple of movie theaters, three "gentlemans" clubs, and...thats it. Well, there are also two pool halls and The Rocket, which features live music and street brawling every weekend.
