The Silicon Trainee role is a structured entry point for B.Tech ECE VLSI and AEXP graduates who want to see the whole flow from specification to timing before choosing where to specialise.

You will rotate through RTL, verification and implementation tasks on DECCANX projects such as the NX-AXI DMA engine and the 13-stage RISC-V core, working beside senior engineers and documenting what you learn.

What you will work on
Read design specifications and turn them into small RTL blocks and directed tests
Run simulations, read waveforms and report what the design did versus what the spec said
Assist with lint, synthesis and static timing checks on small blocks
Maintain explicit notes: design decisions, test results and debug findings
Take part in design and code reviews and respond to review comments
Present a short technical summary of your rotation work each month

Skills Required And How Deep Depth shows how far along you should be on day one. We teach the rest.
Digital logic and sequential designStrong

FSMs, counters, FIFOs and timing basics appear in every task
Verilog or SystemVerilogWorking knowledge

You will read and write synthesizable RTL from the first month




Computer architecture basicsWorking knowledge

Pipelines, caches and buses give context to the blocks you build
Linux command line and GitWorking knowledge

All work lives in version-controlled repositories
Explicit technical writingWorking knowledge

Documentation is part of every deliverable Nice to have
A small RTL project, even a UART or FIFO
Basic scripting in Python or Bash
Awareness of the ASIC flow stages

Tools you will use
SystemVerilog
Simulators such as Verilator or Icarus Verilog
Waveform viewers
Git
Python

What you will learn
The specification-to-timing flow
How RTL, verification and implementation teams hand work to each other
Debugging methodically with waveforms and logs

Your first 90 days
First 30 daysSet up the toolchain, read the project specs and complete a guided RTL exercise.
Days 31 to 60Own a small block with a testbench and a short review.
Days 61 to 90Present your rotation findings and pick a specialisation to deepen.

Who fits: You like understanding how things work end to end and would rather ask a accurate question than guess.
