He joined the Signal and Information Processing Laboratory of the ETH Zürich as a teaching assistant in 1994 and later became a research assistant and junior lecturer in the field of analogue integrated filters.
From 2000-2005, he was an analog-IC designer with Bernafon AG, Switzerland, where he was part of a design team who developed a new IC platform for hearing aids. In that team he worked on audio low-noise amplifiers and voltage regulators in particular and on full-system signal integrity in general.
Now he is a research fellow at the Institute of Microelectronics of the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (IME/FHNW) and a senior lecturer at ETH Zürich (Analog Signal Processing and Filtering). His main research interests are fast low-power circuits (mainly for sensor electronics), signal integrity in analog signal processing, and sigma-delta conversion.
Hanspeter Schmid was IEEE CAS Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee Co-Chair from 2008-2010 and still is a committee member; he is an Associate Editor of TCAS-I, a member of the standing ESSCIRC technical committee (sensors and imagers group), and a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE CAS Society.
