He joined the Signal and Information Processing Laboratory of the ETH Zürich as a teaching assistant in 1994 and 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, where 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 Nortwestern 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 presently is the Chair of the Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society, an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I, the chair of the Swiss IEEE chapter on Circuits and Systems / Electron Devices, and he serves as a reviewer for several journals and conferences.
