Hi
Semiconductors are the silent engines powering our digital age. From AI to quantum computing, the next wave of innovation demands engineers who don’t just design chips but shape the technological sovereignty of nations.
The Advanced Certification Program in SoC Design & Implementation is back, and this is your chance to join a movement. Partnered with Synopsys EDA tools and the Semiconductor Fabless Accelerator Lab (SFAL), this program isn’t just about skills—it’s about fueling your country’s mission to lead in semiconductor excellence.
For the first 6 weeks, immerse yourself in mastering the fundamentals of SoC design. For the next 4 weeks, step into the trenches of a real-world project, tackling challenges that mirror the complexities of today’s most advanced chips.
Past participants didn’t just learn - they engineered breakthroughs:
- RISC-V SoC Implementation (Synopsys + SCL180
PDK)
- PVT-Aware Timing Optimization for VSDBabySoC (Skywater 130nm)
- Clock Tree Synthesis to supercharge ASIC performance (RISC-V + Skywater 130nm)
These projects aren’t academic exercises. They’re proof of what’s possible when talent meets industry-grade tools and visionary mentorship. With global demand soaring for engineers who can navigate nanometer-scale complexities and
innovate under pressure, this program is designed to turn potential into impact.
India - and the world - needs engineers like you to rise. Whether your goal is to strengthen your nation’s semiconductor ecosystem or pioneer breakthroughs in AI, IoT, or beyond, this is your moment to step into a role that matters.
The future of technology isn’t built by chance. It’s built by
engineers who dare to lead.
