Targeted occupations
The micro and nanoelectronics design professions are many and varied. As shown in the figure
, the field of design can be grouped into six professions:
 the systems engineer will determine the most appropriate integrated system architectures for the application
by distributing the stresses in an optimal way between the different components of the system.
 the engineer who designs analogue circuits will be interested in designing circuits whose
operation is in the continuous or time-sampled domain.
 the digital design engineer will work with digitised signals and design circuits that
will process logic signals.

 the software-hardware interface engineer will optimise the signal processing by distributing it in an
optimal way between software processing (programming in a microprocessor) and software processing (programming in a microprocessor).
wired logic operators.
 The CAD support engineer will implement and adapt software tools to design
circuits in a given technology.
 the test engineer will implement the electrical measurement methodologies of the circuits produced, develop
test programs and design test interfaces (cards).
Sectors of activity
Rapidly expanding fields are concerned: the automotive, aeronautical, radio communication and telecommunications industries.
biomedical, security, home automation and the whole emerging industry of connected objects.

In semester 5, all of Phelma’s programmes offer research courses leading to a double degree.
a Master’s degree in research and to start a career in applied research in partnership after graduation
with industry, or in basic research in public research laboratories. This first
The professional experience of a “junior researcher” is carried out in the framework of a doctoral thesis (3-year
contract) leading to the degree of doctor. Surveys on the professional integration of doctoral engineers clearly show
that holding a doctorate facilitates access to positions in research and development in large
companies. The doctorate is also a requirement for research or teaching positions
in public or semi-public laboratories. The engineer-doctor profile also has many
international outlets (equivalent to the PhD in Anglo-Saxon countries).
