Career options for electronics and communication engineers in India

With the increasing interdependence of the hardware and software industries, Electronics and telecommunication are steadily evolving as a promising domain for budding engineers. This stream is not just useful for the job opportunities it comes with, but it is equally promising in terms of industry growth and potential scopes for research. If you’re an aspiring ECE engineer, you’d be glad to know that you’ll have no dearth of opportunities after you complete your B.Tech /B.E. But with so many options to choose from, how do you know which one makes the cut? Well, this is exactly where our platform comes to play. Here, you’ll find a detailed insight on every little detail that you wanted to know about your career as an ECE engineer. So keep reading to find solid, veritable answers, to every question you have pertaining to this field. 1. Core Jobs for ECE Students If you’re an ECE engineer it is very likely that you’d prefer working for a company that directly works in the core electronics field or at least assists other companies in achieving these core tasks. Although these companies are relatively rare, they’re not impossible to find. Wipro Lighting, Broadcom, Texas Instrument, Schnider Electric, Bajaj Electricals, Freescale Semiconductors, Alstom Corporate, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Havells, Crompton Greaves, Neolex Cables, HBM Power Systems, Exide Industries, Tata Electric and CESC are some of the firms that have excellent opportunities for core ECE jobs. Additionally, you’d also find decent opportunities in network communication companies like Siemens, BSNL, Sony Ericsson, Reliance and Nokia. But while the job opportunities in these companies are excellent, their candidate intake is unbelievably low. In fact, you might even experience situations where you don’t find a single opening for core positions in these companies. At this point, you can either try for other options like research, government jobs, and startups or simply drop your CVs to smaller companies like Kuber Lightning, Lanco Industries, Mehta Engineering, Baliga Lighting and so on. As a core ECE engineer, you’ll able to apply for the positions of Design engineer, ASIC Engineer trainee, Jr. Embedded Engineer or Network Support Engineer. If you manage to bag the jobs, you’ll get a chance to work in the field of circuit design, wireless communications, robotics, electronics, VLSI, Nano Technology, Embedded Systems, Digital Electronics, Optical Communications, Signal Processing, Control System, Analog Electronics, Networking and so on. 2. Non-Core Jobs for ECE Students Like I already mentioned, getting placed in your very first core job as an ECE engineer can often get pretty difficult. And this is exactly why you need to try for non-core jobs. While most of these jobs are in the software industry that won’t require the technical expertise you’ve learnt throughout the last four years, you can always get these jobs if you have working knowledge of C/C+ languages and excellent communication skills. Once you hone your software skills, you can apply to the private companies like Wipro, TCS, Accenture, Infosys, HCL and the likes of it. Here, you can apply for the position of Assistant Software Engineer, Junior Software Engineer, Programmer, .Net Engineer, Quality Assurance Manager, Developer, and Business Analyst. Although these jobs don’t fall in your core domain, they pay well and come with decent hikes. Additionally, if you manage to perform well in your jobs, there’s also a good chance of getting on-site offers. N.B- Most of these private companies, do not come for your college placements. So if you’re really looking to try for these companies, find out about their off-campus placement schedules in their official websites. 3. Government Jobs Right after you complete your BE/B.Tech...
