Where is the way out for hardware engineering? [Copy link]

 

How should a hardware engineer change his job? I feel like I have no sense of existence. Are there any seniors who have changed jobs and can share their experience?

呜呼哀哉

Mark it, I am also confused, let me see what others say.

Every time I see embedded systems, upper computers, people who talk and write solutions easily solve problems, but I don't care whose fault it is, whether it's the solution or my own fault, I have to change the board, change the BOM, send it out, solder it myself, and coordinate the adjustments. I get angry when I change the board a little bit.

How many years have you been a hardware engineer? It's hard to recruit hardware engineers here, and it might be even harder to transfer to another position. See if there's a way to get promoted to a management position.

In fact, you are the only one doing it, so the credit is not yours.

It’s almost the 8th year. I know a little bit about everything, but it seems like I know nothing.

The only benefit is that I can get some private work from someone. Hardware is a time-consuming and tiring job that needs people to do it, so I can earn some money for cigarettes. Unfortunately, I haven't had much work to do this year. Is there anyone who can recommend some part-time jobs?

Boss, are you still worried?

I always feel that this is a typical case of "holding a golden bowl but begging for food"

The problem is that the current job can only improve experience, and improving technology requires systematic study. If there is no such condition, it is better to be practical. What is the problem? If there is a way to get work and the channels are unobstructed, it is not impossible to work alone.

Recently, I suddenly realized that in this era of knowledge explosion, it is no longer appropriate to always rely on "one's own strength"

Technicians, if they want to get rich, they must avoid involution and work together with people from different industries and backgrounds to find a good way out.

Working in hardware is pretty good, why did you want to change careers?

I think so too. A good hardware engineer doesn't worry about his career prospects.

How do you define a good hardware engineer? Is he good at everything or the best in one area? I want to hear your opinions and judge the direction of technology. If you are not good at everything and specialize in one area, you will definitely be unemployed.

It is indeed difficult for traditional hardware engineers to have a good life now. The industry is constantly upgrading, and there are more and more analyses to learn, the requirements are getting higher and higher, the division of labor is getting more and more detailed, and the growth cycle is getting longer. It is easy for people to lose their way. Compared with working in software and networks, it is easier to lose their balance.

If you want to study something, you must persist in order to study it in depth. I am in the same situation as you now, I know a little bit about everything, but I am not good at anything.

Work doesn't give you time to research things, it just makes you keep copying projects

I feel like it’s not enough without it, but it’s not easy for people to see the results, as if it’s a great achievement to make a software program run.

Private work is time-consuming and laborious, and is basically related to the projects you have experienced.

I'm not worried in the short term, but I'll still be panicked when I really face it. My wife got a job and has been encouraging me to take the civil service exam.
