Might make a good career then.
- krasin 3y ago> Might make a good career then. Is it, though? As much as the autorouters "known" to not work, I expect that a working one is less than 10 years away. Even for PCIe-level complexity.
- jakear 3y agoThe "career" in question could be autorouter developing. That said, I'd suspect it's similar to CS: autoprogrammers are "known" to not work. If you can understand and articulate the business logic in a concise way, understand and articulate all the components of the system and how they may interfere with each other, understand and articulate the system's nominal and practical input ranges, etc., then sure something might autoprogram the code for you, but it's not the autoprogrammer doing the real work.
- RF_Savage 3y agoBut will the autorouted pcb pass EMC?
- junon 3y agoHighly doubt that, and routing is only part of the puzzle.
- etrautmann 3y agosomehow I ended up in Neuroscience, where I get to use the electronics skills occasionally, but even that is mostly focused on ASIC design now.
- ghodith 3y agoWell now ASIC design is an even more niche EE application. How does someone in neuroscience end up needing those skills? Did you Major in EE in undergrad?
- etrautmann 3y agoYep, undergrad in EE. I don’t do our semiconductor design but interface with teams of engineers to make tools for biology.
