From the early days of electronics engineering to the present, very large scale integration (VLSI) has remained a fundamental and ubiquitous component, shaping engineers’ knowledge and skills in integrated circuit design. Have you ever considered VLSI as a promising career path worth exploring? Engineers face a common challenge in selecting the perfect domain to establish a career path. This decision raises various considerations, such as determining the most appropriate direction, acquiring the necessary skills, potential relocation for educational purposes, and evaluating the required investment. In the era of online education, individuals often overlook the potential of VLSI learning when exploring available educational opportunities.

VLSI has emerged as a dynamic field offering exciting job prospects for individuals passionate about semiconductor design and integrated circuit technology. In a recent conversation, Kunal Ghosh, VLSI System Design (VSD) founder, shared invaluable insights into the diverse range of job roles within this domain. Unravelling the VLSI job market, Kunal’s discussion focused on the multitude of employment opportunities that await individuals interested in VLSI. Kunal discloses, “Most students tend to pursue job opportunities after completing their VLSI education. Some may go for pursuing a master’s or PhD degree, while a small percentage may choose to attend different institutes to learn about proprietary tools and practices. However, the majority tends to enter the industry directly after learning VLSI design online courses.”
