VLSI Engineer

Technology

Design, verify, and sign off the chips that power every smartphone, server, automotive ECU, and AI accelerator. In India, VLSI engineers work at semiconductor GCCs (Intel India, AMD, Qualcomm Hyderabad/Bengaluru, NVIDIA, MediaTek, Texas Instruments) and at EDA/IP vendors (Synopsys India, Cadence India) coding RTL in SystemVerilog/VHDL, running synthesis on Design Compiler, closing timing in PrimeTime, building UVM testbenches, running DRC/LVS sign-off, and managing ECOs through tape-out. The ecosystem expanded sharply after India's PLI semiconductor scheme and the government's push for domestic chip design — DLI fabless startups and ISRO/DRDO silicon programs are now active alongside MNC GCCs. Entry is through B.Tech/M.Tech in Electronics or VLSI from IITs, NITs, and IIITs; M.Tech/M.S. routes are strongly preferred at senior GCC roles.
