Hello Engineers,
Here is a story about a young engineering grad. I find it hard to make decision.
I hold a Bachelor degree in Biomedical Engineering, and a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. I find my personal interest in medical electronics (medical instruments), that’s the reason I start my M.Sc. During my master study, I took courses in digital design area: VLSI design, Verilog hardware design, and gained experience in FPGA design (participated in FPGA contest and won a prize in North American Region).
Except the above technical skills, I also have experience in small embedded system design, i.e. 8-bit MCU, embedded C programming and some knowledge in large embedded system (I bought an ARM11 dev board, and teach myself).
Two years passed, when graduating from university, I find that many friends from my lab find jobs in ASIC design field, from front-end digital design, verification to back-end physical design. Perhaps that’s the typical career opportunity for micro-electronics grads.
I guess I could find a job like my friends in ASIC field or FPGA field. But my dream career is to enter medical electronics industry, designing medical instruments. What I could do is far away what I want to do. It makes me so confused.
With such a background, how to enter medical electronics field?
If anyone has any advice or suggestion shared with me, I would really appreciate it.
