microelectronics designer
Microelectronics designers focus on developing and designing microelectronic systems, from the top packaging level down to the integrated circuit level. Their knowledge incorporates system-level understanding with analogue and digital circuit knowledge, with integrating the technology processes and an overall outlook in microelectronic sensor basics. They work with other engineers, material science specialists and researchers, to enable innovations and continuous development of already existing devices.
