What I offer
Guidance at every stage of your journey
From selecting the right university to preparing for technical interviews — I help you make informed decisions that align with your goals.
Career Planning for IC Design
Whether you are a student exploring your first role or a professional looking to pivot into analog IC design, I help you map out a realistic and targeted career path based on your background, skills, and goals.
- Identifying the right specialisation (Analog, Mixed-Signal, RF, Power Management)
- Understanding the semiconductor job market in Europe, USA, and India
- Setting short-term and long-term career milestones
- Guidance on building the right skill set for your target role
Resume, LinkedIn & Interview Preparation
Your CV and LinkedIn profile are your first impression in the semiconductor industry. I review and improve them to highlight what hiring managers at chip companies actually look for.
- IC design-specific CV review and rewrite guidance
- LinkedIn profile optimisation for semiconductor roles
- Technical interview preparation (circuit design, analysis, problem-solving)
- Behavioural interview coaching and mock sessions
