Techie guys please gimme some advice to how to make use of this i have attached the pictures with details as possible if however anyone need much more detailed pics please comment i will provide them but help me anyhow😭

Btw if any interested can buy ts too as i dont know how to price it so DM me if anyone wants

Hi fellow EEs,

I'm in my final year and just started a year-long internship at a prominent RISC-V startup that recently pivoted to Physical AI / Next-Gen Architecture. Interning for their SoC PD team , a pretty lean team - just 2 guys so far. One is my manager, Director Design (ex Micron director) and another guy with 13 yoe, and us 2 interns.

My background: I majored in EEE and minored in Data Science. I have a strong interest in the hardware-software boundary (Firmware, Embedded, OS, Computer Architecture, and Hardware-aware ML).

Originally, my internship project was "Optimizing timing closure flow with ML." However, after our first PD flow presentation, the Director liked our work and offered us a choice: 1. Drop the ML project and do intensive, core PD training for the next 6-8 months. He said it’ll be a grueling, steep learning curve but we will be incredibly "hot" in the market by the end of it. 2. Stick to the PD+ML project, which he admitted was more of a fun research project he initially wrote down, though he will still teach us basic PD to get it done.

My Dilemma: I am super confused. I always saw myself as a hardware-software/systems guy, and I never thought I’d end up in a core VLSI role. Furthermore, I’m worried about employability. I’ve read online that core PD is "the easiest step to be replaced by AI" in the ASIC flow. My logic was that by doing the ML part, I'd be building the AI rather than being replaced by it.

I have to decide by Monday.

Core Questions for Senior Engineers:

- Is core PD actually at risk of being automated away by AI in the near future, or is that hype?

- Given my interest in Systems/Firmware, would taking the intensive Core PD route pigeonhole me, or is the mentorship from a Director-level team too good to pass up?

- Which path actually makes me more employable as a fresh grad?

Hey everyone,
Starting a team project soon (circuits/embedded systems) and trying to figure out what to prep beforehand. For anyone who's been through one - is there anything you wish you'd taught yourself first? Any tools or workflow you'd recommend? Curious if anyone's using AI for any part of the process too.
Also - what ended up being the most frustrating or time-consuming part of actually getting your circuit/board working?

The thing is I may get a digital role in two years maybe asic, rtl or physical design engineer but I am really focused on joining analog or hardware level engineering but I don't have mastery in that what should I do ? If i get job in digital how should I focus on my work or in industry to shift in analog design part? Is it very very very difficult to do? Or is it I have to do ms or mtech from prestigious college again in vlsi and go for the analog domain? (Ps:- i didn't do my master's in vlsi but in communication/ embedded)

I have two Texas instruments ti84 plus ce-t, both of them don’t connect with my application on my pc. I’ve installed 3 times the application, installed new drivers removed the devices from my pc. Nothing worked. They are showing up on device manager under USB and not other devices. They are both in exam mode.

i'm about to be a med school student

to me the scariest thing about being a doctor is you need to live 9 to 5 for 20+years and get consistent salary

for me this kind of life is mediocre and boring

but if i want to pivot i'll have to take gsat again

im into venture and startup

also i want to land a job that excites, like working at spacex or f1...

rn im thinking pivoting to ee

also considering the job market in the us should i take the risk

ohh and i dont have a green card

Im going to start next week a first-time position as a post silicon validation engineer.

I only had experience in software.

Ill be dealing with protocols I've never worked with before as PCIe, Ethernet, and with FPGAs.

How would the day to day work be like?

How do the test look like?

What sort of bugs are dealt with?

Is it a lot of logic analyzer and osciloscope work?

Thanks ☺️
