Yes, and specifically analog circuit design.

Digital circuits are nice and all, but in the end they're very much like coding than actual electronics.

As long as your tolerances are large enough. And you remember all your pull-ups/pull-downs. And...

To paraphrase a joke I heard before, the only difference between an Analog Engineer and a Digital Engineer, is the analog engineer knows they are working on analog circuits.

I thought it was s/analog circuits/ an antenna/, but yours works too.

My analog mentor once told me: there is no such thing as "digital circuits", everything is analog, it's just a matter of slopes. Which is correct, after spending 5 years as a VLSI digital circuit designer, most of my time was fixing min-delay and slope violations, and track routing fuckups by the auto router. And fitting bug fixes into my allotted area.
