Hi Acgalletta,
Your opinion is respected. We are all hard working engineers and have paid our 
dues to earn our degrees. Unfortunately you are making
assumptions and not knowing exactly the details of what the current PhDs are 
working on I am afraid your comments are baseless and
speculative at best.

With respect to the current position, the responsibilities and the scope of the 
job can extend itself all the way up to a PhD level as there
is significant amount of research and analysis that would be best fitting for 
someone with that background, yet a BSEE could still manage
to perform the bare minimum and may be more based on experience. Hope this 
clears it up.

Best,
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,

One thing that troubles me is... If the scope of the job is beyond the post and 
really needs a PhD then why is the minimum requirement for a BS?

I highly doubt you need a PhD. They're better off in project management and 
overseeing chip tapeout,  but for testing, I think a BS EE or Physics can 
suffice.

Sorry, but I feel your PhDs are underutilized. Let's not devalue PhDs. Let's 
also give more respect to graduates w/ a BSEE. Afterall, a degree in EE is HARD 
work.

Dear Charles,

Believe it or not we have 5 PhDs in similar capacities performing test 
functions. The scope of the job goes beyond what
I posted and requires a lot more analysis than just test-taking. If you paid 
attention I also mentioned that the minimum
required for the job is a BSEE or BS in Physics.

Dear Mohammad,

I almost never reply to these sorts of posts but this is an exception.
So let me see,,you want a Phd - who know simulation tools and EM theory. This 
person will then be assigned testing functions.

Really?!!

Subject: [SI-LIST] EMC Test Engineer Opening at Broadcom

Hi Everyone,

Broadcom has an EMC Test-Engineer opening here at the Irvine head-quarters. We 
are seeking a hands-on engineer who has performed compliance testing on 
Ethernet devices preferably using CISPR 22 and FCC Part 15(Class A+B) with 5-10 
years of experience. This person will be responsible for taking measurements in 
the chamber, recording and reporting the results and debugging failures. A 
thorough knowledge of Electromagnetism is required with a BS, (MS or PhD 
preferred) in electrical engineering or physics. Knowledge of Ansoft EMI 
simulation tools a real plus.

Please send your resumes directly to 
Mohammadt@xxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:Mohammadt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks,
Mohammad
