Western Semiconductor is an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company that specializes in automating the design of high-end semiconductor designs (chips). This includes AI / machine learning, RISC-V CPUs, high frequency trading, hearing aids, etc.
We employ electrical engineering apprentices and self taught programmers, many of whom dropped out from universities after interviewing for this position.
We have interned 100's of engineers who have received their Masters of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering. The vast majority of them are fundamentally unsound. Their bachelors degree were achieved outside of the US, and most have learned nothing. The MSEE programs, especially at ASU, only care about getting their $60K and pass the students through leave it up to companies like ours to train these "engineers" from scratch. We found that the students finishing their 2nd year of electrical engineering know more then most of the engineers in the masters degree program, especially from ASU.
We are looking for wannabe electrical engineers to apprentice with us for 18 hours per week for 6 months. The time slots are 7am-1pm and 1 to 7pm. The days are M-Sa. Pick 3 days. MWF or TuThSa for example.
Our office is in the middle of downtown Tempe (Mill and 4th).
Troubleshooting and simplification skills are necessary. This isn't a position for mentally lazy people. If you are good at chess, you will probably be a good circuit designer. You will need to do some googling on the logic gates, how transistors work, etc.
Do not ask for salary until you are able to contribute towards revenue producing designs. Consider this to be a free education. You will be working on non-proprietary designs initially. Your goal is to come up to speed as soon as possible so we can put you onto customer or proprietary circuits.
Working as apprentice is far cheaper and faster than wasting your time at universities.

After 20 years, we have automated analog design. The market doesn't know about us yet. We will be coming out to the market 2024-Q1. We also have digital automation, but we are not the only ones to automate digital designs.
This describes what analog circuit designers do:

If you choose digital, you will likely work on this:

Please include your resume in your reply.
Note: This is not a position for dummies. It is quite the opposite. We are looking for gifted people, who find that college is like grade 13-16.
