I'm heading towards my design license (Hopefully late 2013) and while I'm confident i can obtain this license, others i work with are not.
Point blank the reason is design work being out sourced to other countries. Why is this a problem?
Here in England the work more often on big contracts is sent to India or other such places in order to cut costs, which means people in the UK only get to review the designs.
This of course makes doing real "Design" work impossible.
Making the criteria you have to meet very hard to do.
To achieve getting your license here in the UK becomes very tough, with people hoping and fighting for scraps of work. While you may have one or two designs to your name, this seems to not be enough.
Without being able to do hands on designs, the ability to learn and achieve becomes both frustrating and upsetting.
Will this continue into the future. I wonder.
I would like to hear some peoples views on this. Maybe just to spark some conversation about the future of signal designers, something that was discussed at the last IRSE event in Manchester.
