This field is most growing and demandable field today. As an Electronic and Communication Engineer, you will normally specialise in one work area of the electronics such as research, design, development and testing of the electronic equipment used in various systems. You will deal with electronic devices, circuits, communication equipments like transmitter, receiver, integrated circuits (IC) etc. You will work hard to create and develop tools and machine to solve complex problems.

1.Designing electronic circuits of the systems for free flow of signals from the transmitter to the receiver.
2.Validating the circuits so that no signal is grounded and maximum efficiency is maintained at the output.
3.Identifying and maintaining the power levels of all circuits at both the ends so that the components are safe.
4.Monitoring signal transmission and reception.
5.Maintaining the Signal-to-Noise ratio at the optimum level to maintain the efficiency of Frequency and bandwidth.
6.Checking the ranges of signals in all areas and should avoid the convergence of signals to reduce interference.
7.Planning and developing applications and modifications for electronic instruments used in parts and systems to improve technical performance.

You should have a bachelors degree in Technology (BE/B.Tech) or B.Sc. degree in the specified field.

Technical Skills:
Computer skills are one of the most important skills. You should have good command on MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory), VLSI & Verilog design etc. to test and validate the electronic equipment. You need to boost your coding skill for this role, therefore, you should have good knowledge on C, C++, Java.

Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills:
You should be able to solve all problems efficiently and in a timely fashion without difficulty because you will improve the design functionalities in systems. Besides that, planning and structuring will help you to make a problem solving process more likely to be successful. And you should have good analytical skills which will help you to measure of a persons quantitative as well as creative ability.

Communication Skills:
You should have good verbal ability that will help you to understand the issues from a customer and replying with a proper solution. You will certainly need to demonstrate good communication skills to building relationship with clients.

Organisational Skills:
