Full Time SoC Design Engineer Apprenticeship Program Jobs, in ASEM - Advanced Semiconductor Academy Of Malaysia Cyberjaya - Maukerja

Training Location:

• Cyberjaya, Malaysia (1 Month Hands-On Technical Training)

Duration: 1 Month Training + 3 Months On-the-Job Training (OJT)

Start Date: Aug 2026

Type: Full-Time Apprenticeship Program

About The Program

The SoC Design Engineer Apprenticeship Program is designed for graduates who aspire to build a career in System-on-Chip (SoC) development and semiconductor engineering.

Participants will gain hands-on exposure to industry-standard digital IC design methodologies, from RTL design and functional verification to logic synthesis, timing analysis, and physical implementation. 

Through intensive technical training followed by On-the-Job Training (OJT), participants will develop practical skills and gain real-world experience in semiconductor design environments.

Program Structure

During the 1-month intensive training phase at ASEM, Cyberjaya, you will gain practical exposure to:

• Digital IC design methodologies and industry-standard front-end workflows
• RTL design using Verilog HDL
• Functional verification with SystemVerilog
• Logic synthesis and design optimization
• Design for Test (DFT) fundamentals
• Static Timing Analysis (STA) using PrimeTime
• Front-end low-power implementation techniques
• Physical implementation with ICC II
• Hands-on mini project integrating the complete digital IC design flow
• Industry-readiness workshops and technical mentoring

In the following 3 months, you will gain hands-on industry experience through an On-the-Job Training (OJT) placement at a semiconductor company, where you will apply your technical knowledge in a real engineering environment
