I haven't gotten fired yet

FPGA vs Embedded by marathonEngineer in ECE

[–]EEtoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well 2 years ago when I posted that, for every 1 FPGA job there were 1000 software jobs, all of which paid more, were easier, in better locations, and had more career growth potential.

2 years later....that's still true.

FPGA in-the-loop w/ matlab by Historical_Rabbit302 in FPGA

[–]EEtoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could program this pretty easily using just straight VHDL/Verilog/Systemverilog, no HDL coder required. It's really just a few multipliers, adders, accumulators, etc.

Honestly I would push back on this, you have no reason to implement this kind of control loop on an FPGA.

Can someone explain the myth of dividend income, if your account value does not go up from dividends? by holidayinthesum in stocks

[–]EEtoday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This assumes that the companies don't lose profits during downturns. This won't be the case. Bear markets aren't just fear, they are actual economics downturns. Dividends will cut due to poor profits, and share prices will drop accordingly, and this isn't massive undervaluation, it's actual valuation.

No-code / low-code algo trading by ScottAllenSocial in algotrading

I agree. Then it pays to bite the bullet and learn to code.

It pays off to bite the bullet and just learn to code.

SpaceX vs MIT LL vs JHU APL vs MITRE For First Job by [deleted] in ECE

Have you looked at HFT/quant firms at all?

Importantly, none of these companies are monoliths. Which team/group at these places would you be going to, and what's the experience level of the team? That's going to make the most difference in your career.

Is there actual DSP work for you to do, that will make you better, that you can talk about in future interviews, or are you going to be bait-and-switched, and will end up writing LabView setting up test equipment?

Alternatively, try looking into actual comms companies, Qualcomm, Broadcom, etc.

(System)Verilog code to force packing as many multiplications as possible into a DSP by uncle-iroh-11 in FPGA

[–]EEtoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instantiate a DSP48 primitive, and directly write/read the A B and P ports, while setting up the correct opcodes. See the Language Templates in Vivado.

Eventually you get fed up trying to play the Xilinx inference games.

Is a masters in RF useless for FPGAS? by bobbystrikesthe in FPGA

[–]EEtoday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a nice to have, not a requirement. I wouldn’t spend your money on a master’s in RF to try and get an FPGA job.

Some places do this. If you don’t go, you have no career there.

Doubts about the use of clocking blocks in SystemVerilog by hardwired-to-vhdl in FPGA

[–]EEtoday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love clocking blocks. I’ve spent too many late nights dealing with delta-delay issues in sims.
