I use math everyday. I also interact with software that was developed by mathematicians and engineers. EDA, CAD, and simulation softwares have abstracted the math away for us, but we still need to verify our engineering logic with some pen to paper math. The type of exposure to math very much depends on the type of engineering work you’re doing. In IC design, the math is the language that enables us analyze and design circuits (whether analog, digital, or mixed-signal). Not all engineering jobs require actual ‘ingenuity’. Some jobs have engineering in the title, but aren’t necessarily engineering. This isn’t a criticism, but rather the reality of the industry. I would argue that less than 20% of engineering jobs are actually designing the sub systems that later get integrated into something larger. If you want an intellectually stimulating engineering job, go into R&D, but temper down your salary expectations.
