Do I need to go to college to be a hardware engineer?
Hardware engineers generally include four categories:

1, hardware design engineer.

-This kind of students need to go to college, or even study for a doctorate, and work hard for many years before they can achieve anything. Some kinds of hardware (such as analog, RF, high-performance operational amplifier, etc. ) has been the world's high technology for many years. It is easy for such engineers to earn hundreds of thousands or millions a year.

2. Hardware maintenance/repair engineer.

-There are two categories:

-One is general consumer hardware or small commercial hardware, such as general computer hardware maintenance or home appliance maintenance; Mainly rely on experience accumulation, the requirements will not be too high. This is slightly taller than an electrician. You can call an engineer or a repairman.

-The other is hardware maintenance and repair of large-scale systems, such as telecommunication system maintenance; This requires college education and strong system analysis ability.

3. Hardware installation engineer.

-this is also divided into two categories:

-One is consumer hardware or small commercial hardware, such as computer installation or air conditioning installation. Strictly speaking, this can only be regarded as an installer, but many times everyone

-The other is the installation of large complex systems (usually called deployment), such as the deployment of 3G network in China for China Telecom or the rapid deployment of battlefield command system. In addition to the original factory personnel, this installation generally requires training and obtaining corresponding certificates before implementation. This is a demanding architecture engineer, often from a hardware system engineer.

4.PME (product manufacturing engineer)

PME (product manufacturing engineer) is usually called hardware engineer in the factory. Category is between maintenance and design. This requirement is low, generally need to go to college or undergraduate.
