Campus Recruitment: Getting hired by VLSI companies during campus recruitments


can indeed be an excellent way to kickstart your career. CCompanies like Intel,
Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Broadcom, and Texas Instruments are well-known for recruiting
VLSI engineers from top-tier institutes.To increase your chances, consider pursuing an
M.Tech in VLSI or related fields from prestigious institutes like IITs (Indian Institutes of
Technology) or NITs (National Institutes of Technology). Building a strong academic
record and developing practical skills is equally important.

Training Institutes: Joining training institutes like RV-VLSI Design Center,training include
CDAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing), VLSI Guru, and Maven Silicon.
those can provide valuable exposure and hands-on experience in VLSI design. These
institutes often have tie-ups with industry partners, making it easier for students to
connect with potential employers. Additionally, participating in projects and internships
during your time at these institutes can enhance your skills and make you a more
attractive candidate to VLSI companies.
Off-Campus Opportunities: Major VLSI companies, such as Intel, AMD, Samsung, and
Synopsys, often have dedicated career sections on their websites where you can search
for job openings and apply directly.Job portals like LinkedIn, Naukri.com, and Glassdoor
also list VLSI job openings from various companies.

GitHub and Open Source Projects: Engage in open source VLSI projects on platforms
like GitHub. Contributing to or creating your own VLSI-related projects can showcase
your skills to potential employers.

Stay Updated: Keeping up-to-date in the VLSI field can involve reading industry
publications like "VLSI Design" and "IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration
(VLSI) Systems," as well as online resources such as VLSI forums and blogs. Soft skills
are important in any job, and networking can be achieved by attending industry events
such as the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), Design Automation
Conference (DAC), and IEEE conferences.On LinkedIn, you can follow VLSI-related
groups and connect with professionals from companies of interest.
