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 analog 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.
He joined the Institute of Microelectronics of the University of Applied Sciences Nortwestern Switzerland (IME/FHNW) as a research fellow in 2005 and became a full professor in February 2012. He is also a part-time 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 was (and is) an Associate Editor of TCAS-I from 2007-2011 and TCAS-II from 2016-2017; he is a member of the standing ESSCIRC technical committee (sensors and imagers group), and in 2011-2012 he was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE CAS Society.
