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 ASIC Design Engineer Apprenticeship Program is designed for graduates who aspire to build a career in Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design and semiconductor engineering.

Participants will gain hands-on exposure to the end-to-end ASIC design flow, including RTL design, functional verification, logic synthesis, Design for Test (DFT), timing analysis, and physical implementation using industry-standard Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools.

The programme consists of 1 month of intensive technical training followed by 3 months of On-the-Job Training (OJT) with a semiconductor company.

During the training phase at ASEM, Cyberjaya, you will gain practical exposure to:

• ASIC design methodologies and industry-standard design flow
• RTL design using Verilog HDL
• Functional verification with SystemVerilog
• Logic synthesis using industry-standard EDA tools
• Design for Test (DFT) fundamentals
• Static Timing Analysis (STA)
• Front-end low-power implementation
• Physical implementation concepts
• End-to-end ASIC design mini project
• Professional development and industry-readiness workshops

During the OJT phase, you will work alongside experienced engineers, applying your technical knowledge to real ASIC development projects while gaining valuable industry experience.
