In the world of Electronics and Communication (EC), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), and VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration), the question most graduates ask is simple yet crucial: “What kind of jobs can I get after graduation?” Having guided aspiring engineers and professionals in the semiconductor and microelectronics industry, I want to share insights into the job profiles, career opportunities, and the skills that matter.
This session is aimed at undergraduates, Master’s students, Ph.D. candidates, working professionals, and even faculty members who wish to enhance their knowledge or guide others in this field.
These disciplines form the backbone of the semiconductor and electronics industry. A degree in EC, EEE, or VLSI doesn’t just provide academic knowledge. It opens doors to careers in chip design, semiconductor fabrication, embedded systems, and digital hardware design.
Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design engineers focus on designing digital circuits tailored for specific applications. They use HDL languages like Verilog and SystemVerilog.
These engineers specialize in amplifiers, ADCs/DACs, and mixed-signal circuits. They ensure precision in analog and mixed-signal IC design.
Responsible for translating analog designs into physical layouts, ensuring circuit performance and reliability.
Experts in timing closure, placement, and routing, they work with EDA tools like Synopsys and Cadence.
They validate the physical design against foundry rules, ensuring compliance with DRC, LVS, and ERC checks.
These engineers design the basic building blocks used in digital IC design libraries.
Focused on optimizing transistor-level layouts for analog circuits, minimizing parasitics, and improving performance.
Specialized in designing SRAM, DRAM, and Flash memory blocks, which are critical for modern processors.
Responsible for input/output cell design, ensuring proper ESD protection and signal integrity.
