Rubylith and ferric chloride.  Yep.

I was a analog/linear aficionado  in college.  I called the digital guys “bit 
freaks”.  
So while I was forced to do digital design, I really ate up all the 
RF/microwave stuff I could get.

That’s what I was.  Not much demand, that’s why I’ve been doing other things 
for over 20 years.  Actually made the switch to engineering management in the 
80’s but still did some design work for another 10 years because all the 
engineers wanted to do digital and processor designs.  I still have the books, 
the brain is rusty though.

 

I tried to convince the new engineers that high speed digital design meant 
knowing analog, RF and microstrip techniques, but they weren’t buying it.  
Getting their products through regulatory emissions testing did give them a bit 
of religion.

 

I still remember laying out PCBs using red and blue tape.

Yep - I’m qualified to answer some things and would be totally lost on others.  
 EE has become a huge field with many many disciplines.

 

And good luck finding an analog circuit guy anymore ;-)

  Analog?  Digital?  Even with those there tend to be specialties like 
emissions, safety, PLD/ASIC design, microprocessor/microcontroller, RF, etc.  
Or do you need a generalist?

  Having an issue with a circuit design, anyone know a good electrical engineer 
they can

  recommend?
