The real future of hardware engineers may not be believed by you if I say so

I made it myself 5 Hardware Engineer , How not to make more comments on the industry , Different people have different experiences , There are different views . I only review and reflect on my career development , It's a little summary for yourself in the past , Writing it down is also convenient for you to turn back and see your mental journey later . Let's also show a story to all interested friends .

Now it is 2022 year 6 month , I'm about to enter my sixth year of work . At present, the overall career development is good , It should be regarded as regular . Now the work has gradually stabilized , It's also a group leader , I feel that my position is not up or down , There are headhunters calling me in three days , But like a bird in a cage , I want to exchange some passion , And covet the present stability . Maybe the normal state of life is to choose difficulties and constantly struggle .

Now let's talk about my work in detail ：

The first is the change of work content ：

17 year induction Simple project simple design , More is the learning of mature programs , Familiarity with standardized processes

18-19 year Mainly do the design and implementation of basic projects and some small functions

20 year Start to do some relatively complex project design

21 year Develop complex large-scale projects and start to manage some simple projects , Take others to do projects

22 year Officially start technical management

Income is unclear , I can also catch a glimpse of leopard in some of my other answers . The hardware circle is not big , Afraid of being recognized for speaking too carefully .

I graduated from college , Start working directly . The career planning you want before you enter the job is ： Technology to technology management . Now it is still on this road as expected . I have always liked the hardware industry , To this day , I'm quite satisfied with my professional experience .

At the beginning of work, I was in internship , In retrospect, it can be called a bloodbath , At that time, there was still a lot of distance between the knowledge learned and the final use , Fortunately, , I have a real Daniel's master , The requirements are very strict , I was also under great pressure during that time , Sleeping and dreaming are all my projects and designs . Often work overtime until one or two in the morning , During that time, I absorbed a lot of knowledge crazily , I have made rapid progress in my level and cognition . Finally, I crossed this barrier , Look at the first product designed by yourself , Tell the truth , That kind of happiness is really indescribable . Now in retrospect , I'm still grateful for my hard work at that time , In current words, it should be called the Book King , But at that time, I really wanted to understand that knowledge , Solve that problem .

gradually , More and more familiar with their own products , At the end of the second year , It can already be said to be “ A skilled worker ” 了 , It was at that time , Suddenly I feel , If it's just facing the chip demo In need of change , Sew and mend the problem , Isn't that what we often call a paste maker , hamal . So I try to learn by myself , Go and ask , To explore the principles behind these designs , Also communicate and discuss some problems with suppliers , I found out after wandering around , These are all back in books , I didn't know the so-called knowledge when I was in school , It seems that if there is nothing, it is related to the current work .

For the next two years , What I did , Are strengthening this connection . Simulation is also good , Actually measured , Are constantly “ Learn from time to time ”. In the process , The project is still going out , Trivial things are still being done . It's mainly because I have more sense of achievement in my personal growth . It is this process , Gradually expose their knowledge, there are still many missing parts . Until today, I still keep learning .

Now , Also began to lead the team , Embarked on preliminary technical management . Looking back , A few years ago, I was tired and bitter , On the one hand, I feel I have done a lot , Not much money , Also moved the idea of giving up , Find a relaxing place to lie flat . On the other hand, I feel embarrassed to give up , At least it's decent to run after solving the problem , Finally, I insisted , From the result, there are also some rewards , Now I have made some achievements . The deepest feeling is to consolidate the technical foundation , Combine theory with practice , Then keep doing it . After work , I found many times compared with demo Take a copy , Hardware can also be used . But it is also the attitude towards such problems , May be the decisive factor in the direction of career development .

A few days ago, I communicated with the old leader and discussed several issues , There is still a huge gap between thinking and knowledge , It really makes me look up to it , The feeling of drilling hard . I still have a long way to go in my career as an engineer , Still can't float , Be steady and do well , Learn more and ask more , Be modest , In the whole hardware industry , My grades are nothing more , It can only be regarded as a start .
