8. Industry Exposure:

I started my career in semiconductor industry as a back-end Design Engineer just after completing the M.Tech in Integrated electronics & circuits( VLSI- Design) from IIT Delhi in January 2003.

Presently I am working in Synopsy. Synopsy is market leader in providing advanced embedded memory intellectual property (IP) for the design of complex integrated circuits. Here I am working in High Density Memory development group. Virage provides a good platform to work on cutting edge technologies ranging from 14nm(FINFET), 28nm, 40nm, 65nm.............and implementation of submicron solutions to optimize design for Noise, Power & Leakge.

Previous to join Synopsys I was with Virage Logic which was acquired by Synopsys on 2010. Before Virage Logic I was with NeoMagic Semicondutor as a back-end Design Engineer.There I got exposure of different levels of chip design from front end to back-end design.  I was in the team which was responsible for the development of MiMagic6 processor which was based on ARM9 core.There I got exposure to different levels of application processor design. I was also responsible for  Mixed-Vt library development to optimize core for low power & high speed. Instead of back-end work, I also got some opportunities to work for front-end projects like study & implementation of AMBA(Advanced Microcontroler Bus Architecture)Bus protocol and writing RTL & testbench(In Verilog) for AMBA-AHB 64bit to 32 bit Interface, writing RTL & testbench  for AMBA-EHB( EHB is proprietary of NeoMagic and is enhanced version of AHB bus protocol towards AXI bus protocol)  interface.
