Get Hired by Top Electronic Design Automation Companies
The entire semiconductor world is powered by software from a handful of elite electronic design automation companies. At Semionics, our training gives you the expert-level skills you need to join these industry titans.
The Titans of the EDA Industry
The world of electronic design automation companies is led by three major players, each with its own areas of expertise. Our curriculum gives you experience with them all.
Synopsys
The market leader in synthesis, static timing analysis, and a dominant force across the entire asic development process. A key player in any asic design service.
Cadence Design Systems
A powerhouse in physical design and verification, and the undisputed leader in custom and analog design tools for creating a custom asic.
Siemens EDA
Formerly Mentor Graphics, they are the gold standard for physical verification (Calibre) and a major force in verification and emulation for asics hardware.
Specialized Tool Providers
The ecosystem also includes many other innovative asic companies focused on specific niches like formal verification, FPGA tools (Xilinx/Intel), and more.
Your Role in the Ecosystem
Our asic design course prepares you for a career at any of these firms, from R&D roles building the tools to Application Engineering roles supporting their customers.
The Customers
All fabless asic design companies and asic chip manufacturers rely on the asic software from these EDA giants to build their products.
Ready to Join the Companies That Build the Future?
Your career at a leading electronic design automation company starts with mastering their tools. Our asic online program is your most direct path to success.

These companies hire the best of the best. We focus our training on the core skills that will get your resume to the top of the pile.
Deep Algorithmic Knowledge
EDA tools are built on complex algorithms. A strong foundation in data structures and algorithms is essential for a career in R&D at these firms.
Exceptional Software Skills
You need to be an excellent programmer, typically in C++ or Python, to develop the next generation of asic software.
Expertise in Chip Design
To build the tools, you must deeply understand the asic development process. Our project-based asic design course gives you that critical domain expertise.
Our Proven Training Methodology
We believe in learning by doing. Our methodology is built on three core pillars designed to make you a confident engineer, ready for a career at a top EDA company.
Project-Based Curriculum
You won’t just watch videos. You’ll work on a full-scale project that uses the asic design tools, giving you the user’s perspective that is crucial for developing them.
Expert Mentorship
Learn from engineers who have spent decades working at top asic design companies. Our instructors provide invaluable guidance, code reviews, and career advice.
24/7 Cloud Lab Access
Get unlimited access to a full suite of professional asic software. Practice your skills on the same asic design tools you aspire to build or support.

FAQs About Electronic Design Automation Companies
Your questions about the EDA industry, answered.
What exactly do electronic design automation companies do?
They create the highly complex software (asic software) that engineers use to design, verify, and test integrated circuits. They are the “picks and shovels” of the semiconductor gold rush, enabling all other asic companies to create their hardware.
What skills do I need to get a job at an EDA company?
You need a very strong background in computer science (algorithms, data structures), excellent programming skills (C++, Python), and a deep understanding of the asic development process. Our training provides the crucial third component.
Is it better to work for an EDA company or a chip design company?
It depends on your passion! If you love creating algorithms and software to solve complex engineering problems, an EDA company is a great fit. If you love using those tools to create a final product like a custom asic, a design company is for you. Our course prepares you for both paths.
