Rushikonda IT SEZ in Visakhapatnam has a VLSI Design Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a hardware team designing digital chips for embedded and industrial applications. Two and a half years of experience is the expectation, enough to have already taken a design through simulation and encountered the gap between theory and what actually works on silicon.
The work covers designing and testing firmware and digital logic for hardware devices, debugging circuit and system-level issues, and documenting technical specifications in enough detail that a design decision can be understood months later without a verbal walkthrough. Chip design mistakes are expensive to fix once fabricated, which shapes how carefully this team reviews work before it moves forward.
A bachelor's degree in electronics, electrical engineering, or a related field is expected, along with practical experience with circuit design, embedded programming, or hardware prototyping. The team weighs hands-on simulation and verification experience heavily, since VLSI design theory alone doesn't fully prepare someone for the debugging reality.
Experience with a specific major EDA tool, familiarity with low-power design techniques, and any exposure to the fabrication process itself, even from a course, since understanding what happens after a design leaves the simulator changes how carefully someone verifies it beforehand.
Rushikonda IT SEZ has become a growing pocket of Visakhapatnam's tech scene, and this hardware team's chip designs feed into both consumer and industrial products, giving engineers exposure to different reliability and cost tradeoffs depending on the project. Naukri Mitra has listed a few embedded roles from this employer, and engineers who've joined recently describe the verification discipline here as more rigorous than expected, a direct response to the real cost of catching a design flaw after fabrication rather than before.
Interviews include a technical round on digital design fundamentals and a review of a past project involving Verilog or VHDL. Candidates who can walk through a bug they caught during simulation, and how they found it, tend to interview well.
This role is based at Rushikonda IT SEZ, Visakhapatnam, pin code 530045, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹1,02,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within five weeks.
