I'm stuck on mechanical engineering and computer science , I did some building and programming in high school making a self driving rover that detects objects that are in the way and I liked the building and programming part but I'm not sure if CS or ME is gonna be similar to what I built in highschool , any suggestions

Well, at least you were able to find real engineering work Most engineering graduates don't

After over 40 years of being a hardware engineer, my chief complaint is that for the vast majority of positions, it is not remote work That means that you pretty much have to live where that work is done, which means, you are forced to live in the most expensive places possible Yes, if you are doing embedded software/firmware you might need to be in the lab where the embedded system is that you are working on (along with the hardware guys) But for the most part, the HW guy/girl needs to be in the lab where all of the expensive equipment is

bro, do you think AI and automation are also going to take all hardware engineering jobs too like the software ones?

Im a 2nd yr EEE student got a offer at BAE for hardware engineering, gonna start my internship soon but have no clue what my job is going to be Thanks for your insights, after the recent AI breakout i still feel like hardware could be a better place than software and after covid most jobs have become hybrid Wish me luck please, and is there anyway for me to contact you if im stuck anywhere about my career Thanks mate Cheers

What about salaries and scope?? I always thought hardware developers are cool and had not to go through lots of programming language, Just C langauage Also is there high future scope for hardware devs and what's your opinion about salary as compared software engineering?

Hi can you help me

But the salary is better for hardware engineers compared to software engineers

I have a quick question Do you always work on circuit boards? Do you build more than repair?

Thanks so much man, it helps me a lot to make a decision for my future career

What do you mean by hardware engineer? Are you designing systems on the chip or are you working in the fab?
Comment from : Maxwell Glenna

Damn I like building computers and messing with arduino and what not, and the actual field has nothing to do with it!? What job is "Build these computers, test em, sell em" Simple 😭

Thank you man for your insights

I wanted to be an AI Hardware Designer Don't think I'm smart enough for that - I'm going into Year 2 of my electrical engineering degree

Oh man, if I just viewed this vid I just started out in a Junior HW job and honestly its a bit overwhelming, nevertheless do you have some tips for a Junior HW Engineer ?

Guys hellobrIs it possible to be a computer engineering "generalist "brI love the hardware and software parts equally and where could I end up working from !

What you should have looked for on the job market is more akin to "electronics" engineering The job postings most likely won't say that, but they would mention things like PCB design, use of digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and logic analyzers, electromagnetic compatibility testing Unfortunately there aren't nearly as many of these on the market as all the semiconductor stuff You just have to comb the job postings thoroughly Examples of companies you could check out are Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Renesas, ON Semiconductor, basically any company that makes ICs that you could easily find on Mouser or Digi-Key They have somebody designing those development kits to showcase their latest product offerings to major consumers of their products and making the respective datasheets

I have photography as a hobby, I've invested alot in equipment and making money was never a factor about it I enjoy it because i can do it whenever i want Doing what you love as a career can ruin your love

I go to tamu for CE, when I got into my major I understood it as having the two tracks like you said(hardware and software) However, when I got in, it was the first year they got rid of the tracks, so it’s just one computer engineering Now, I’m worried that it will be hard to express to companies that I know how to program instead of just saying I’m doing the computer software track My plan, guided by my dad at intel, is to make a portfolio of c++ and get my AWS Cloud dev certification I honestly feel a little cheated by my university that there was no documentation of the change, and it’s caused a ton of stress On the other hand though, my university is right at top ten for comp engineering and high twenties for CS so maybe it will end up working itself out

Great vid

As an EE grad myself, I agree with you man, I have always been a geek of hardware, enjoyed tinkering with components, wiring circuitry with microcontrollers during college, and quickly realized the harsh truth (not as lucrative, worse work environment and hrs compared to software) about the hardware industry one yr before I graduated and decided to instead focus on software Tbh, if you had a good foundation in c/c++ from college, I don’t think it’ll be that tough for you to switch industry tho it’s competitive out there since lots of people r doing cs and bootcamp Keep grinding and success will eventually come!
