Hi,
I am asking this question for my friend. He is going to do his MSEE in
Analog/Digital ASIC at the Lund University,Sweden. He wants to know
about the future prospects in this field
P.S: He is an Indian and will be on a limited period(prob 2yr) student
visa to sweden.
kind regards

That really depends on a lot of factors. The most important: Where does
he want to live an work? In Sweden? India? Somewhere else?

Hello Arun,

Over here (US) ASIC design is still pretty strong. However, I can see
some of that work migrating to India. The way this happens is that large
companies are building design centers in Bangalore and other places,
then slowly downsizing their US engineering groups. Working as an
independent designer is an option but initially not for your friend. It
also would require a large portfolio of references which you don't have
right after graduating. The only way (other than marriage) to get into
the US would be via large companies as sponsors.

Analog experience on the circuit board level is quite sought here as
well as in other countries. The main reason for that is that young
graduates lack experience. Often they can't even solder. In order to
succeed in this field you need lots of design exprience under your belt.
Hobby, vacation work, whatever, but it has to be some challenging stuff.

Yep, forgot that one. But don't count on landing a job with a
semiconductor design firm after that. They want to see los documentos,
usually.

You can work for Fry's... in management even ;-)
