Applications engineers(AEs) in the semiconductor industry could fit most of your criteria. I agree with the embedded programming suggestion from donpacino which is what most apps engineers in semiconductor companies do.
Also, if you've strong object-oriented programming background, with a...
hariyo,
If you're asking about digital signal processing(DSP) then no it has nothing to do with physics. DSP is all math. It involves a lot of Fourier transforms, z-transforms, time-frequency domain transformations, FIR filter, FFT design...stuff like that.
Folks,
I do Logic design and verification of Multi-core chips for a living (4th year in Semiconductor/Computer HW industry). I don't have much of a background in Physics outside my high school and some Applied Physics courses that I took in BS-EE and MS-EE. I don't covet a PhD in Physics, all I...
TMFKAN64,
Thanks for the response. In terms of my actual physics background, you're right. My BS is also in EE, but I took classic mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and elctrogmagnetics and engineering physics. In my MS I took 3 semiconductor device physics courses. Given that info...
Dear physics lovers,
I've been working as a chip design engineer (designing SoCs for ultra-low power audio/medical applications) for the last 3 years at one of the top-5 semiconductor companies in the world. For the first couple of chip design cycles (~2.5 years) I was solving some really...
