VLSI Design
Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when complex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed. The microprocessor is a VLSI device. Structured VLSI design is a modular methodology for saving microchip area by minimizing the interconnect fabrics area. This is obtained by repetitive arrangement of rectangular macro blocks which can be interconnected using wiring by abutment.

 

There are a variety of career opportunities in product companies, design services companies and electronic design automation (EDA) companies. Product and application domains of VLSI include mobile and consumer electronics, computing, telecommunications and networking, data processing, automotive, healthcare and industrial applications.
 

Some good segments include industrial and automotive microcontrollers, wireless infrastructure, consumer digital TV and handheld devices, and computing/storage infrastructure. Emerging areas include smart-energy product development, medical telemetry application, and high-end application processor development.
 

The VLSI industry has an added attraction of being a strong domain for patents filing, invention disclosures and applied research. This course is widely available in many US universities. Acedemic requirements are flexible and students with average profiles can also find opening in this stream.
 

 

Embedded Systems
Embedded systems engineer is a relatively new classification that merges electronics engineering and computer science. Embedded systems are processing cores that act as microcontrollers dedicated to specific tasks. Design engineers can optimize it to reduce the size and cost of the product and increase the reliability and performance. Physically, embedded systems range from portable devices such as digital watches and MP3 players, to large fixed installations like traffic lights, factory controllers. These systemscan be fairly simple like a single microcontroller chipor extremely complex with multiple units, peripherals and networks mounted inside a large chassis or enclosure. Embedded systems are now being mass-produced and benefiting from economies of scale.

 

A career in embedded systems is one of the better career options available for students today. Embedded systems engineerscan work for both technology that touches the life of the common manliking writing software that determines the controls of washers, cars, dryers, etc as well as  work on high-end systems ranging from robots to factory assembly lines. Embedded systems engineers are most likely to get placed in companies dealing with the engineering requirements of automobiles,companies that build embedded systems for the armed forces of a country, companies that specialize in building embedded systems for controlling railway signals, mills, petrochemical plants, pharmaceutical factories, bottling plants, etc. Embedded systems are also used in monitors, scanners, machines used for chemotherapy, diagnostic equipments, pacemakers, ventilators, etc. Therefore a specialist in embedded systems can have a career in a very wide ranging set of industries.
