If you are avid about working in the VLSI industry, below are some of the high-demand job opportunities that you can find in the industry. Frontend RTL Design Engineer is responsible for design creation and implementation with the use of Verilog. One of the expectations from an RTL design Engineer is an advanced understanding of the concept of digital design. He should also be knowledgeable of how to read and understand design stipulations. He should also be able to interpret them as Verilog code by the use of RTL design and coding specifications. They must be fully abreast with the ASIC/SoC design flow and must be an expert in the field of debugging.
An ASIC Verification Engineer is responsible for the verification of the functionality of design. High-level verification language like System Verilog and UVM is essential in design verification. To be successful as an ASIC Verification engineer, one needs to have a good knowledge of protocols, must have a good understanding of logic designs, and must also mater SV/UVM scripting and programming languages. An ASIC verification Engineer and RTL Design Engineers work closely to validate and report design bugs. The SoC verification Engineer ensures that a product is successful.
A physical design engineer has the responsibility of evaluating semiconductors and generate microchips and processor layout circuits. However, depending on the company and the position, the duties of a physical design engineer may vary.For those who wish to take up a career in the area of physical design, a background in Electrical Engineering is often a requirement for many companies. In addition to this, many VLSI industries today have made it mandatory for all applicants to obtain a certification in the relevant skill to be eligible to apply. The average salary of a physical design engineer ranges between 6 lakhs to 10 lakhs per annum. Some factors determine the take-home include years of experience, the role to be occupied, and the nature of the company.
