Essential Skills for Hardware Engineers - English
Hardware design is an upward connection to the upper layer of software applications, downward connection to the underlying driver work, in many companies, hardware engineers play more of a project manager's job, playing a role in connecting different departments, different types of work, to coordinate the overall progress of the project.
So it seems that hardware engineers have to do a lot, looks so tired look, so from the hardware engineer itself, which skills are the core of our it?
Recruitment requirements (English)
English is simply a necessary skill for foreign companies to recruit, must be proficient in listening, reading and writing. If not in foreign companies, private companies, state-owned enterprises in the work of the core competitiveness is also becoming stronger, more than one skill salary will be higher than others.
There is no doubt that the electronics industry today stands in the forefront of the world is still foreign. When engineers do hardware design, they need to read a lot of foreign language materials. Some engineers have a weak foundation in English, reading when using translation software to translate line by line, which is very inefficient. If you are proficient in English, you can directly read the world's advanced technical documents and talk to engineers around the world with fluent spoken language, and you will get more opportunities in your profession and career.
EDA Software & Measurement Instruments
Almost all development and programming tools and integrated environment software and EDA software are basically all in English, some even do not even allow Chinese directory. For example, hardware engineers to draw schematics, layout must use EDA software, if you do not want to buy a member to see Baidu library or Taobao a few dollars to learn a certain software, then open Help, the basic operating procedures can be learned quickly. Circuit debugging and testing, Agilent, Tektronix oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers all default to use the English interface.
The ability to quickly learn new knowledge
Hardware products are updated too quickly, such as the general cell phone manufacturers will basically come out with new models every year, in the face of new consumers, new market demand, new product technology, the need for hardware engineers to have the ability to learn new technologies quickly.
The ability to export technical documentation
The ability to output technical documentation is generally the ability to summarize, this is extremely important. Organize the completed project hardware design process, key circuits (general protection circuit, general external interface circuit, hardware platform, communication interface), problem point organization, power module test specifications, hardware test reports, key components selection and so on, through each time the project to continue to sort out, and summarized as a document, there will be a new understanding of the design.
