analog/mixed-signal IC Design in Finland
Re: analog/mixed-signal IC Design in Finland
IC DESIGN...I have racked my brian trying to think who actualy DESIGN ICs in Finland....I know lots of companies that specify IC design and Oulu Tecnology Park and the new centre near Oulu airport have more than its fair share but I dont know any that actualy do there own designing..but then what is the border line between specifying design and doing the actual layouts?Wally wrote:Hi,

I think you need a directory of companies in Oulu and I cannot find one sorry...It is probabably in Finnish somewhere on the WWW.
When I asked a collegue he said that he had seen and advert recently from Metso for IC designers but thinks it was in Hyvinka..Metso make machines for the paper industry.

Here are a few more links:

Thiis course list is interesting as it appears to be available in Oulu or Espoo.

I found a list of IT companies in Oulu, cheers....Nokia and Micocell have employed designers in the past, but have nothing going at the moment.
> difference between specifying the design and doing the actual layouts
...not sure what you mean here exactly...do you mean internal layout of the IC itself, or layout of a PCB with the IC on it? INternal layout i've done lots of.... Anyhows, I'm not tied to what I have done in the last 6 years, i'd really be willing to give anything a go which migth be related to what I studied (elec eng).
cheers for the info........Wally

Hi,
Nokia Oulu and Microcell Oulu are both suffering from down turn in Networks business...I did make a phone call to a friend who lives in Oulu..he said that Nokia laid off 300+ in Oulu a few weeks ago and that has depressed the jobs market..but he gave me one address.
