CrimeaPRESS reports:
The training course “Basics of developing analog SoC units” at IT Park lasted 2.5 months. The authors of the course are the startup RISCY, a project of the IT Garage startup studio, which is dedicated to the development of microcontrollers based on the RISC-V architecture. The training allowed participants to master a new specialization, and two people who successfully completed all stages were given the opportunity to join the ambitious startup team. For students, the course was counted as practical training.
The RISCY project aims to create microcontrollers for consumer IoT devices, industrial robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, automotive electronics, general purpose processors, data centers and cloud technologies.
The course included practical exercises and four online lectures covering key theoretical foundations, features of electrical circuit design and integrated circuit topology, as well as their modeling and verification using specialized CAD software. Each course participant had to develop the electrical circuit and topology of an operational amplifier, the characteristics of which had to satisfy the received technical specifications.
As expected, the most diligent course participants managed to complete the task and achieve good results in completing their practical assignment. They were the ones who were awarded a job offer during the summing up. Despite the fact that this course did not have the task of teaching the theoretical foundations of physics, but rather the basic route of design using specialized CAD with an emphasis on the specifics of working with integrated circuit technology, the participants managed to quickly adapt to all the specified specifics. Judging by the feedback received from some participants, the material of the lectures was comfortable for assimilation, balanced with respect to the presentation of theoretical information, the demonstration part, as well as the subsequent discussion of current developments by the participants themselves. At the end of the lectures, participants received videos that potential developers can use as a cheat sheet for completing project tasks at the initial stage,” notes the course lecturer, senior design engineer of SoC at RISCY company Dmitry Snegur.
In the given time, two participants completed the task best. Based on the results of the course, they were selected as the most promising applicants for the positions of junior system-on-chip design engineers at the RISCY startup. They were sent job offers. Both candidates expressed their consent to take the proposed vacancies. The first finalist of the course has already been successfully employed and is actively completing tasks within the startup. The departure of the second employee is scheduled for July 1, 2024.
