Hardware engineers must have a clear career direction

In the past few years, companies in general have been willing to recruit people with strong qualifications and qualifications. A good and capable employee can bring great benefits to the company.

However, everything is double-sided. Now in this society, the company's population is moving very fast. Strong and intelligent people, although bringing a lot of benefits to the company, often bring great harm to the company. There are too many people who fly high in a few years. It is also these uneasy people that have brought new vitality to the entire industry and carried forward the good technology and management of the company. However, their departure has caused a big gap for the company, and many places will take a long time to make up. In short, the vitality is bad.

This situation has been seen more, these big companies are fine, they found that the company can not be too dependent on talent, but should let talent rely on the company is right, so they divide the various departments into detailed and detailed, everyone is responsible The things are very simple. In this way, "there is a specialization in the surgery industry", the efficiency has gone up, the experience has accumulated, and the work has been streamlined. Gradually, the company's operations are streamlined. In general, the larger the company, the finer the division of labor, the lower the requirements of hardware development engineers. On the contrary, small-scale companies have to be versatile, but many "senior" engineers do not bother to go. So everyone started to complain.

Therefore, hardware engineers must have a clear career development direction. Don't think that if you enter a big company, you will have a bright future. Learn to be a good person in a big company, and learn to do things in a small company. If you want to be technically accomplished, the accumulation of experience at work is only one aspect. If you want to have a breakthrough, you must rely on your own amateur study! ! ! ! Otherwise, the road will be narrower and narrower.

It’s very good to do this. I feel that I am very fulfilled and can do this well. It’s really tiring to do this. I have to learn too much, the basics should be hardened, and the past knowledge should be reviewed. Otherwise, it will be almost forgotten in a year and a half. New knowledge must be constantly learned, new products are introduced too fast, and you will soon be eliminated if you don’t learn. And it's not a bit of a false one. If you want to get started in this industry, you have to be prepared for hard work.

Generally speaking, the older the hardware, the more fragrant. Especially engaged in analog circuits. Then again, there are not many domestic industries and companies with high hardware design. The circuits of most companies' products are relatively simple, such as control circuits for household appliances or many other circuits that are applied to microcontrollers.

I believe that high-end circuit design requires engineers to have a solid theoretical foundation, such as analog circuits for analog signal processing, at least to master the following knowledge: analog circuits, digital circuits, circuit theory, signals and systems, digital signals deal with. Without one of them, you can't make the design deep. It's not a simple drawing schematic, but also an in-depth analysis of the circuit. For example, analog circuits, how to deal with circuit noise, so that the circuit can reliably measure uV or even lower signals and so on. Designing a circuit is simple, but designing a reliable circuit is difficult. Why the quality of small companies is often poor, I think the level of engineers may have a great relationship.

To do technology is to be a professional, to become an expert, to be fragrant. Senior experts are very professional, otherwise how can we call experts? Don't complain that the company's division of labor is getting more and more fine. This is the trend of social development. The country and society need more and more experts, not the appearance of everything, but it is not an expert. These first come to small companies to exercise, and after laying a good foundation, consider becoming an expert.

At present, China's economic development is still rapid, which will inevitably lead to the development of the technology industry. People's living standards will be rapidly improved in the near future. At that time, people's requirements for the quality of electronic products will gradually increase. At that time, electronic engineers will inevitably receive corresponding attention and respect. Like European and American engineers, by then, engineers in China will be iron rice bowls and golden rice bowls!
