The IEEE member is one of the few women who work in the specialized field , where about 11 percent are female, according to career platform Zippia . Preethi Ashwath Employer Analog Devices, in Boston Title Integrated circuit designer Member grade Member Alma maters SJB Institute of Technology in Bengaluru, India; University of California, Irvine Ashwath stepped out from behind the scenes last year to meet with attendees at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.\n\nReporting also notes that she demonstrated Analog’s new earbuds, which track people’s heart and lung health through vibrations in their ear canals. After she demonstrated her ability to explain the technology to consumers in simple terms, Analog selected her to represent the company at other events. She says she has “come to see speaking as part of contributing to the field, rather than something separate from technical work.” She also gives technical talks on various aspects of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other topics, as well as participates in panel discussions, she says, because they “reach engineers well beyond my immediate team.” Ashwath is an active volunteer with the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society . “Whether through de g semiconductor products, publishing technical articles, reviewing conference papers, or speaking at industry events, I try to contribute to the growth of the engineering community and the advancement of the field,” she says.\n\nPoints still worth watching: Discovering circuit design at Intel Ashwath, who grew up in Bengaluru, India, learned about electronics engineering from her high school physics tutor. That introduction led her to take electronics as one of her core courses in her final years there. At the time, Ashwath’s older sister was pursuing an engineering degree.
