| Quite right. The situation in US is relatively good for analog/RF experienced designers (5 years and more). It is very grim for beginners. This is my impression.

I have done MS with VLSI major both with analog and digital ic design background and looking for a first chance since last 2 years.
I am still a fresher.
Recently i am been guided to learn C# .NET I have heard there are are plent of opportunities out there. Is it true?
Can anypone tell me which one is an emerging market in US.

I think the US vlsi market is selectively good and bad.
Intel is hiring many people in the consumer electronic group.
The best requirement is some years of experience with a master degree.
Hope all you have a good job.

| Very difficult for fresh people. There's work for analog guys but they want experience. You can find companies which have new grad positions announced on their web sites, but most of the time those are fake.

I think more and more companies will turn to the road of SOC design. something like @ltera's Hardcopy tech is really a good alternative.
What we need in the future? The basics and a prospect in the system level design, I think.

in india job market is ok....Its mainly for verification.
Most of the jobs shifted from the US are verification related. There is hardly any development work in MNCs

| I'm an experienced digital designer with 4 years of experience and a post graduate study in VLSI design .. and i guess US today is hiring for digital a bit more than for analog .. simply because analog doesn't require as much designers as digital .. at the same time the technology is getting wider in digital and consumer electronics become a daily need .. but anyhow .. i believe that overseas designers are having troubling getting jobs inside the US .. this is my impression ! .. regardless of digital ar analog thingy ..

Dear Roli:

| I'm an analog design engineer for 7 years in taiwan and had been work in US during 1999 to 2000. I guess more companies have the pressure of time-to-market, and time-to-success, so their best solution is hiring experinced engineers. Mysuggestion may not be a good idea, but I really think it's worth to find a chance in other countries, to get skilled and experience other cultures. Life is not short, but it's easier for a freshman to make change. As I know, it's not too hard to find a job in asia - Korean, Taiwan, India, mainland China. If want you want is get a job in US, takes more tries, if you really enjoy been an engineer in this field, WE ARE THE WORLD !

hey guys,
I am a fresh grad (MS) in Analog IC Design...stumbled onto this site while surfing....really interesting info over here.
From what i have experienced during my job search, there are not too many openings for fresh grads in the field of analog ic designs. The big guns although have innumerable postings on their site for fresh grads but am not sure as to how many are actually true. Coz I have apped to almost all of them and am yet to face an interview. I guess its generally difficult to break into the analog ic design field without any prior experience (as I was suggested by a head hunter).
I am looking around for opportunities and any suggestion in this regard would be really appreciated.
Cheers!!
AJ

Hello ppl..really good work by all of u..I got admitted to Texas A&M University College station. When I contacted seniors there they say the job market is good and almost all the major companies r comin here for recruitment. Some who graduated recently r working in Xilinx, TI, IBM etc.. they all say tht TAMU is reputed n u dont find it difficult to get a job in VLSI after M.S.
Is that true?? I already got placed here in India though not in VLSI..but am I making the right decision by goin to US now??
Does the reputation of college matter??

I do have the same equestions...
I am trying to get an entry level position in analog design, but see no results yet. We know that what we did in the lab is totally different form industry, but how can we get ourselves started while all the companies only accept experienced? I don't know if I should transfer to testing. It is said that fresh are not so rejected there...

| My best advise is switch to CS and write codes. It is the best that i had learned as an EE student.

Current position in US?
As of April 6, 2007, all (USA) H1B visas issued for this year have been allocated. Basically, after just 2 days, the entire 2007 allocation was completed filled by requests from companies.
US companies are getting better at outsourcing -- they are learning how to work with offshore companies more effectively (and what types of work are best suited to exporting.) Likewise, our friends in the offshore nations (India, China, Russia, etc.) are improving their work output quality and quantity. And one day our friends will rise up and refuse to be paid lowly wages for their craftsmanship -- and then they, too, will feel the need to begin outsourcing their outsourcing work (hopefully back to the US.)
On a more serious note, analog/RF design is simply one of those specialties that demands relevant work experience (which no one in the USA will give you the opportunity to learn), or demonstrated competence (by getting a PhD in a related topic area.) There will always be a demand for experienced VLSI persons, but sadly, the US industry seems very shortsighted in not hiring entry-level VLSI people. One day we'll have a shortage of experienced engineers, and partly due to bad staffing policies within high-tech companies. (Pretty much every hightech company, small or large, wants to run in "startup mode" -- i.e. hire only people who can already perform the job, use them for 60hrs/wk until project is done, then let them go.)
