RISC-V Semiconductor Design and Skill Development Program

Dear students,

Have you ever wondered where the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, IBM, and edX first began their semiconductor journey? What if I told you they all share something in common — they started at the same university?

Yes, it’s true. These tech giants began their careers at the Indian Institute of Technology–Madras (IIT–Madras), a place where talent meets opportunity, and innovation is nurtured from day one. It’s almost like this university holds a hidden “treasure” — the kind that shapes leaders in the tech world.

And now, you have the chance to follow in their footsteps. We’re offering a fully sponsored, one-month training program at IIT–Madras, covering everything you need to jumpstart a career in semiconductor design — from flight tickets and accommodation to meals.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Computer Architecture & RISC-V Fundamentals

  • RISC-V ISA, Privileged Architecture & Extensions

  • Assembly-Level Programming & Debugging

  • Processor & SoC Design

  • Processor & SoC Verification

  • RTL Design & Logic Synthesis

  • Physical Design: RTL-to-GDS-II Flow

  • Industry-Readiness & Ecosystem Exposure

And here’s where it can take you:

  • RTL/Processor Design Engineer

  • SoC Design Engineer

  • Verification Engineer (Processor/SoC)

  • Junior Hardware Architect

Potential to earn up to RM8,000 monthly salary after training

Program Details:
