A decade ago I heard an design manager at AMD, an ex
DEC Alpha type, complain about how it was to recruit
EEs who knew anything about circuits and device physics.
All the new grads he interviewed were Verilog cowboys
who wanted to code up MPUs and had no desire to know
how transistors worked and interacted. Unless this trend
has changed (I have no reason to believe that it has) the
major IC designers are going to have to train new people
themselves to address these ever growing challenges.
