VLSI is very broad releam as it requires great level of knowledge of whole VLSI flow due to strong interdependence of each sub-domain. This require that engineers should be able to work on all aspects of design or as minimum sensitive of constraints and work flow of all sub-domains.

Below are the most important work profiles which can be drawn out of VLSI flow implementation -

Design Engineer - Takes specifications, defines architecture, does circuit design, provide consultancy for layout, tapes out the chip to the foundry, and evaluates the prototype once the chip comes back from the fab.

Verification Engineer - Analyze requirements create testbench architecture, develop test cases, fire simulation, give consultancy to designers to design for enhanced testability, tapes out the chip to the foundry, and evaluates the prototype once the chip comes back from the fab.

Systems Engineer: He is responsible for all customer technical support, firmware development, evaluation boards, data sheets and all product documentation such as application notes, trade shows, magazine articles, evaluation reports, software drives and so on.

Product Engineer: He is responsible for production release and is therefore regarded as a team leader on the project. Post production, he is responsible for customer returns, failure analysis, and corrective actions including design changes.

Test Engineer: Develops test plan for the chip based on specifications and data sheet, creates characterization and production program for the bench test or the ATE (Automatic Test Equipment), designs test board hardware, correlates ATE results with the bench results to validate silicon to compare with simulation results. He works closely with the product engineer to ensure smooth release to production and post release support.

CAD Engineer: This is an engineering function that supports the design engineering function. He is responsible for acquiring, maintaining or developing all CAD tools used by all other VLSI flow engineers. He is supposed to evaluate and integrate new tools in company specific flow.

Foundry Engineer: This is a highly specialized function which involves new wafer process development, device modeling, and lots of research and development projects. He is highly trained in semiconductor device physics area, work with fabs to evaluate their new technologies, willing to experiment, and recommend or drop new technological node for new chips.

Packaging Engineer: This is another highly specialized job function generally part of System Engineering team. He develops precision packaging technology, new package designs for the chips, does the characterization of new packages, and does electrical modeling of the new designs. This is very critical job function where geometries are very small and power surges and system frequencies are very high.

VLSI Training in India is becoming vital constraint for new graduates as job providers are becoming more and more unwilling to hire people and impart training for six months. VLSI is highly niche profile and requires all round specialization and exhaustive know-how of entire ASIC Design methodology. Earlier college freshers use to attend some small VLSI summer camp to gain informational level familiarity to VLSI area but now this level of phony bootcamps are of no use. So trainee engineers should take into consideration above mentioned points and seek out correct VLSI Training Center.

Only a few Institute for VLSI Training like Indian Institute of VLSI Design & Training (IIVDT) understood this bottle-neck and has pioneered Advanced Diploma in VLSI Design Technology covering most of job profiles listed above. This VLSI Training Course is keeping in view the VLSI Industry requirement to fill Academia-Industry gap and developing highly skilled VLSI professionals which are prepared to be useful on day one of hire.
