You will be working on a variety of projects and technologies, from circuit and PCB design to signal processing algorithms in VHDL/Verilog and embedded C for microcontrollers. You will often be pushing designs to an extreme. The best possible performance to enable a new technique, or extreme low power to open a new use case.
