You’re in Analog Design department but mostly doing mostly related issues troubleshooting/debugging/reporting?

blink.gif funny enough yes.
My manager and I are the two people who typically "flush tools flows".

I feel like people who knows designs here all either very experienced, and somehow get exposure from other companies before joining. So far in here I only comfortable working with Digital Blocks that is built with Standard Cells.

Everyday here Imposter syndrome only. sweat.gif
I think need go outside find a sifu/top up with Masters in Microelectronics specialized in Analog Design hit a few walls then can start properly understand things work, otherwise everyday become Spice Monkey. Or blur case no idea what's happening with the design blocks.

Again my degree in EEE offered in my Uni was broad, and not depth. Sometimes wonder should I do a career pivot again... shocking.gif

I did not join Intel. The workload in small company is alot more, but the learning you get to experience is a lot. And the bonus is nice too, can get 2-3 months.
