What are the career & job prospects in India for Embedded Systems and VLSI?

Question

DISHA RANI · Answer

Embedded system is used to define any computing platform that performs a dedicated or specialised task. Unlike a general purpose PC that can perform a multitude of tasks and is a combination of many complex modules, an embedded system is quite simple in design and application and does not have needless hardware attached to it. VLSI, an acronym for Very Large Scale Integration, furnishes the information about design complexity of any integrated circuit by providing an idea of the number of transistors used within any circuit. VLSI, is hence the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip VLSI is a manufacturing technique used in the development of entire embedded system setups. VLSI comes across as a base-level niche field that has fuelled up a lot many frontiers for further the growth of this industry. Career opportunities are plenty in the VLSI field, especially outside India. One only needs to judge his / her true area of interest and act accordingly to improvise upon the skills required to excel professionally, whether the concerned area be VLSI or Embedded. All the best.

Career opportunities are plenty in the VLSI field, especially outside India. One only needs to judge his / her true area of interest and act accordingly to improvise upon the skills required to excel professionally, whether the concerned area be VLSI or Embedded. VLSI technology has opened up vast avenues for career growth in design analysis, design implementation, computer-aided designing, verification, simulation and testing. You will get a good package in VLSI as compared to embedded systems . VLSI courses are outdated in most of our Indian universities, and even such courses are taught in or around last two semesters. Naturally, the demand of chip design industry is outstrips supply being provided by Indian institutions. Thus, having a B.E/B.Tech/M.tech is insufficient to grab your Dream Job in a core domain like VLSI. One can get the best VLSI jobs and build a successful Career in VLSI domain ONLY after attaining the right skill set that are demanded by the semiconductor companies today. Maven Silicon in Bangalore, has been a pioneer in imparting such cutting-edge Industry oriented training/internships which makes an engineer readily employable in the VLSI domain, keeps you updated with the latest technology and helps you to provide the ample of job opportunities.

VLSI Industry is flourishing in India and the Verification segment is short in supply of good skilled talents. To get into the verification or design portfolio, you need a strong foundation of Digital design and Verilog. If you want to strengthen your basics of Digital electronics and Verilog, the best way is to take up the Online VLSI Design Methodologies course from MAVEN SILICON. Relearn. Maven-silicon. Com This course starts with an overview of VLSI and explains VLSI technology, SoC design, Moores law and the difference between ASIC and FPGA. With this overview, it walks you through all the steps of complete VLSI Design flow and explains every step in detail. Then it covers the complete digital design, combination, sequential and FSM designs. And finally it trains you extensively on Verilog HDL programming and makes you a hands-on RTL designer. The benefits of this VLSI Design Methodology Course are: - Affordable Online VLSI Course - Online course with Projects, Labs and support material - Course Delivered by Industry Experts - Certificate with Grade on successful completion of the course - Avail scholarship on certification for job oriented Advanced classroom courses You can also sign UPAT https://elearn.maven-silicon.com/register to earn a free preview.

Knowledge and skills required in these areas are- Good knowledge in theory and practice of one or two microcontrollers like PIC, 8051, or AVR etc. Deep and sound knowledge in programming language C, especially embedded C. Knowledge in these 2 areas will help you to get an entry-level job in the field of embedded systems. Engineers from Electronics and Communication, Electronics and Electrical, Electronics and Instrumentation are preferred for these jobs. Engineers are asked to work on circuit designing, fabrication, testing, and support. Companies like Samsung, Bosch, Siemens and Pay scales for the engineers recruited by these companies range from 7-15 LPA. For networking, continuing education and professional certification opportunities, embedded systems engineers might turn to professional organizations, such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Through IEEE's Computer Society, embedded systems engineers can earn the Certified Software Development Professional (CSDP) designation (www.ieee.org). Additionally, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) offers Certified Software Quality Engineer (CSQE) and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) programs to enhance computer engineers' skills and improve opportunities for advancement (www.ieee.org).
