Hey everyone!
I’m working on a product and looking for a technical partner with experience in circuit design, PCB development, and manufacturing.
If you have hands-on experience taking electronic products from concept to production and are interested in collaborating, please reach out via Reddit DM.
Cheers!

Hey everyone, I just put together my very first schematic in EasyEDA and wanted to run it by people who actually know what they're doing to see if it makes sense or not. The task was to design a control board that lets an NVIDIA Jetson's 3.3V GPIO pin safely trigger a 100A SSR

Here is what I've wired up:

• J1 (Input): Receives the Jetson GPIO signal, paired with a 10k pull-down resistor (R1) to keep the line stable during boot.
• Q1 & R2: A 2N2222 NPN transistor driven through a 1k base resistor (R2) acting as a low-side switch.
• J2 (Output): The output terminal connecting to the relay control side, powered by a VCC line.
• LED1 & R3: A status LED with a 330 ohm resistor so it lights up when the relay is active.
• D1: A 1N4007W diode placed across the control lines to catch voltage spikes.

Does this layout look correct, or are there any mistakes I should fix before moving on to the PCB layout? Any feedback is super appreciated

I'm an Electrical Engineering student focusing on Power. I'm primarily interested in staying in my city, which is Chicago. There's multiple firms in the city that also post internship positions in their office in other cities around the United States.

I want to apply to positions at multiple offices to maximize my chances of getting an internship, but I also don't want to shoot myself in the foot and ruin my chances of staying in Chicago by diluting my applications to these companies. For example, I'm worried about applying at a company both in their Chicago and Denver locations, and getting a Denver interview instead of Chicago because I applied for both.

I have one previous co-op/internship on my resume, which was an 8-month power plant co-op with a major utility company.

Any advice or experience on what would be the best way to proceed? Thank you!

I have a 30 minute interview with Texas Instruments for a Sourcing Specialist role. I didn't do a phone screen with a recruiter; my interview is with the hiring manager. What questions should I prepare for?

I recently got a call from a recruiter in TI, telling me about an online assessment (Digital Design Engineer role, Fresh Grad) and a virtual interview that will follow if I clear the assessment. I just finished the assessment after that... Does anyone know what the timeline is after this if they experienced a similar thing?

Hello guys,
Texas is coming in our college for Analog Field Application Engineer Role. Can you please share the questions/topics they generally ask in their OA and also what is the format of the OA

Hi everyone,

I’m currently studying MOSFET capacitance characteristics using Behzad Razavi's textbook and had a few questions regarding the C_ch vs. V_C graph.

1. Physical meaning of C_ch when V_C < V_TH: If we view C_ch strictly as the channel capacitance, I understand why it starts to increase near V_C = V_TH and levels off as the channel fully forms. However, in the region where V_C < V_TH, no inversion channel exists. Is it physically correct to consider C_ch itself as zero (non-existent) in this region?
2. Reason for C_ch becoming zero: If C_ch actually represents the total equivalent capacitance looking into the channel/gate node rather than just a specific channel component, what physical mechanism causes it to drop all the way to zero at certain points?
3. Difference from standard MOSCAP C-V curves: When comparing Razavi's C_ch graph to the standard MOSCAP C-V curves found in other textbooks (like Sedra & Smith or Streetman), the shapes look noticeably different (especially in accumulation/depletion/inversion behavior and zero-crossings). Why is Razavi's representation drawn differently from the classic MOSCAP C-V curve?

I would really appreciate any insights or detailed explanations. Thanks in advance!

I have have got a rank of 71 out of 100k students (exam for admission in masters vlsi)

Will this grad gpa be a hindrance all my life ???

Please guide me if you are into the industry ( not asking for any sort of refferal) just wanna know truth.

For context, I'm a computer engineering student primarily interested in embedded systems and currently searching for internships. I have a couple of relevant projects, am pretty active on campus/leadership stuff, and am currently working on a research project designing an embedded device (Point being, I have some relevant experience/background, definitely not like super experienced lol but I do really like working with hardware)

But I recently started doing some web development work for some local music artists in my area (previously used to some software projects, not as much as I do now so I have some experience there too). I don't like web dev as much as embedded systems, but I love the opportunity to support local artists, it's fun, and it's a pretty low time committment. I also would really like to work for an audio company, so I was hoping this experience would supplement the rest of my resume.

I'm just afraid I might be wasting my time, now that it's internship season and I'm doing something I know I don't truly want to do as my career (in terms of technical skills).

So, my question is: could it possibly be worth it to continue this work if it's not technically relevant to what I really want? Can I frame it as a positive for audio/music companies? Or for any company? Any advice would be appreciated. :)

I'm a software developer and plan to switch into Hardware and software roles due to AI slop, JOB market.

I researched some roles such as

Hardware Accelerator Engineer

Chip designer

Embedded systems engineer

MACHINE learning system engineer

HPC/GPU Engineer

I don't know. What the role I need to focus and skillset ..

I’m currently a software engineer with around 9 years of experience, but I’ve been learning electronics in my free time and I’m considering taking it much more seriously.

So far I’ve done breadboard prototyping, microsoldering, ESP32 projects and some basic PCB design. I’ve designed things like a Li-ion charger, battery protection circuit and a soil moisture/plant reminder.

I haven’t explored STM32 yet and I don’t have an EE/ECE degree.

I’m trying to understand what the realistic career options would be if I kept developing these skills for the next few years.
I’m particularly curious about embedded systems, PCB/hardware design, power electronics, industrial automation, robotics and test/validation.

Which of these fields are realistically accessible to someone coming from software without going back for another degree?
Also, what does the actual day-to-day work look like in these jobs?

I’m not expecting to switch careers immediately. I’m mainly looking for something I can build alongside my current career that could eventually become a legitimate alternative source of income or even a second career.

For people actually working in ECE, what path would you recommend from here? And would moving from software into electronics make financial/career sense, or would you recommend keeping the software career and combining the two instead?

So i am trying to visualise the antenna pattern in 3 dimensions for the 2.4 GHz antenna on my PCB. The reason is to compare antenna performance between 2 revisions.

I had collected data in a fully anechoic chamber,however it is only after going for the test I found out that they only support 2D scans.

So I took 3 2D scans for each device. The scans were taken by placing the EUT on a turntables center that rotates from 0 degree to 360 degree with 10 degree steps. The scanning antenna was at the same elevation as the EUT.

To get the data at 3 cut planes, I changed the EUT orientation. The cut planes for each scan were XZ, XY and ZY. The 2D radar plot look fine, but to compare true performance I believe a 3D plot would give me much better data.

I have the raw data from each scan, I tried building an estimation tool for missing data points with gpt, however the error in the estimated point was extremely high.

Would appreciate some guidance about doing this or if this is even possible, so that I can quit wasting my time and effort if it’s not a task that will give me somewhat useful results.

I really have no solid reference for how good this offer is so any input would be helpful. I am a masters student.

Large semiconductor design company's office in socal. Role is perf Modeling. 140k base + 60k rsu (vested o/ 4 years) + yearly performance bonus + relocation.

Good? Bad? I'll probably try to get at least one other offer and try to negotiate a bit.

Thanks.

I have been doing research in VLSI field under the best teacher of vlsi in all of ece since the start of 2nd year and still continue to do it(already wrote one conference paper and working on 2-3 journals and conferences) but I also want to learn coding of which I only know basics, I am currently low on my CG and have found out that I don't have interest in communications or pcb designing... What should I do?? Focus on CG or research or coding I am not able to manage all of them but I also I can't leave all of them as according to me they certainly will benefit me...😭😭

I have interests in arduino and I’m also taking computer engineering in uni I was wondering what projects I could do before I start my second year that I can put on my LinkedIn which can help me to land jobs or internships in the future or now .

im a first year ece student . Before jumping into any specific domain,What are the most important basics I should learn first?. for ex mathematics , basic electronics, programing etc .

Is there a common foundation that will make it easier to explore different ECE domains later? Also, what would you recommend learning during the first year?
