Hi Friends,

I have my masters in vlsi from manipal university with cmos analog design as a subject also.I need to enter in to analog domain as a fresher.I need some suggestions regarding how to get entry level jobs.I have sent my resume to many companies but no reply.Please help me.
 

How useful do you imagine you are, with a couple of courses
under your belt in a specialty field?

I drifted into analog from digital, then interface product design.
The "simpler" attributes let me learn many nuances with less
exposure to failure than trying to do a complex or parametrically
demanding analog part, right off. The analog group burned
through a lot of inexperienced talent. There's only so many
times you can fail before things get ugly. A good practical
base acquired wherever you can get in the door, will help
you to chase your dream more successfully and pay you
meanwhile.

I would not hire a "fresher" for analog product development
unless they really, really impressed me. Only very large
companies with well planned employee development notions,
or really desperate and broke companies will go for bottom
end inexperienced talent. You surely do not want the latter,
so this suggests you work harder at penetrating a large IC
company, ASIC development house or board level products
company (at least here, you will come to grasp the applications
side of things and might parlay this into an IC development
career move if you do it quick enough after school and have
developed meanwhile a useful depth in some area that applies).

Your alma mater ought to have some kind of placement and
recruiting connections, which you should take full advantage
of. Ditto the alumni network.
 
What exactly i shud do ?? Please explain me in short.
 

In India most of the Top VLSI Companies(ADI, TI, Cypress, NXP, Qualcomm, etc) prefer to take people only from the IITs and IISc. and sometime from the top NITs or BITS.
It is unlikely that any fresher form the other colleges gets a chance unless he has a fantastic Resume or has been recommended by someone from within the company.

But there are a lot of second tier companies which do a lot of their own design work and also take up some design outsourcing work from other companies.
These might be a good place to look into. Companies like Sankalp, Smartplay, etc. I know many people who started their career over there and then jumped to companies like Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, Cypress Semi, etc.

There is a list of such companies in Bangalore right here on edaboard.

Anyway, all the companies receive hundreds of resumes. You can't just sent one and expect a reply. Call them, ask friends/alumni, find out more.
