Hi guys,

I am currently writing-up my PhD thesis, research topic is in the area 4G LTE and optical fibre communication integration, from not very well reputed university in UK. I have published about 8 papers, where 3 of it are IEEE journals. I have another 3 under review, with one of it is IEEE journal as well. Most of my conferences are top spec. All 11 papers were achieved within 2 and a half years.

My specialized area is digital communications, including all modulation schemes, especially OFDM. Highly skilled in DSP.

I also have teaching experience in DSP and optical fibre communication since 2010.

My skills are including, programming languages, C, C++, MATLAB, Verilog HDL. Most circuit design CADs.

Very skillful in experimental work, I have used a wide range of test instruments. I have experience in baseband, radio frequency, optoelectronic circuits design. Basic experience in digital circuit design.

Could anyone please advice where I could look for a job, or if any experienced engineer looking for a graduate with PhD, please feel free to contact me.

At the PhD level you ought to stress what you can do for your employer, show what you've done, and discuss some of your ideas.

People are looking for someone who has a sense of direction, not a need to play with expensive toys on the company dollar.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
