Hello,
For FPGA does instrumentation or digital communications would be most important if you could only choose one?
I'm interested in both, but unsure how to weigh the options especially for FPGA work in aerospace and satellite.
Hello,
How did you know or narrow down to chip design as the right career for you given the range of EE options from power, RF, embedded hardware, firmware, DSP, controls, communications, etc? This field seems to be high stress, cyclical, extremely specialized, limited to few locations, etc.
I'm trying to see if chip design career is a good specialization if generally interested in avionics, medical devices, and satellites. Any one in these industries and design chips? Are you in analog, mixed-signal, or digital?
Given my interests, is chip design the correct level of abstraction or is some other EE or CmpE subfield better? Does chip design career lock one into component level engineering rather than working with the whole system later on?
I can take the following chip related courses at uni, I'd appreciate your comments or advice:
Analog Microelectronics, RF Microelectronics, Digital Integrated Circuits, Design Multiprocessor System on Chip, CMOS Sensor Microsystems, Circuit Simulation, Analog IC Signal Processing, Printed Electronics, VLSI Design.
Besides thesethere are lots of courses available in DSP, communications, and control theory, but how relevant to chip design level of work rather than embedded level work?
Thanks
