CAREER ADVANCEMENTARTIS doesn’t just train you. From career counselling to job placement, we invest in where you go.
Corporate training, industrial attachment, hiring support, and design services
Paired with an industry engineer guiding your growth inside and beyond the classroom.
ARTIS connects graduates to OSAT destinations and semiconductor design houses.
ARTIS-recognised credentials and a verified portfolio of design projects to present to employers.
A growing network for referrals, collaboration, and lifelong peer support.
6-12 week structured placement in OSAT facilities and design houses.
A collaboration between ARTIS, academic institutions, and OSAT industry partners to build a sustainable talent ecosystem for Bangladesh’s semiconductor and workforce future. We welcome partners who want to shape this journey with us.
Express interest or partner with usEVENTS & RESOURCESSeminars, workshops, and webinars - keeping the ARTIS community connected and advancing.
From national constraints to global products and brands. Quality. Inclusion. Scale. Speed.
FAQsNo - this isn’t gated by degree.
EEE, ECE, ETE, CSE and Applied Physics students can start from year one. Diploma holders and career-changers from any background are just as welcome.
Meet the assumed-knowledge bar listed on a course, and you’re in it - whatever year you’re actually in.
It depends on the track, on purpose.
No - everything runs on our lab workstations.
Our facility is already loaded with the same tools working engineers use. Nothing to install, license, or buy - just show up and sit down.
A certificate - plus something more specific.
Longer courses map to a named credential - SVA Functional Verification, Innovus Implementation System - the kind of line a hiring manager recognises on sight.
Several courses also send you home with a real working artifact. That’s evidence, not just a certificate.
Smaller rooms, real tools, from day one.
Depends on where you’re starting from.
Already working in the industry? You likely don’t need Foundation at all - go straight to the Specialization or Advanced course that closes the specific gap: need UVM → A1, timing/DFT signoff → A2, physical implementation → S5, custom layout → A3.
Start with F1 if you’re not sure yet.
It exists to make that call on evidence, not a guess.
Nothing here is permanent - most people adjust after their first Specialization course.
Prerequisites are advisory, not a locked gate.
Already know what a prerequisite teaches? Start further along. What you can’t skip is the knowledge itself - arriving without it just means catching up instead of learning.
Overwhelmingly hands-on. On purpose.
Even the shortest course gets you simulating or laying out a circuit within the first few sessions.
Industrial Attachment pushes furthest - about two-thirds of the week is spent building a project you take home.
Yes - production tools, not academic substitutes.
Virtuoso, Spectre, Xcelium, Genus, Innovus, Tempus, Modus, Assura, PVS, Quantus.
If a course lists a tool, that’s the exact version practising engineers run every day.
A certificate - plus, often, real proof of work.
Most Specialization and Advanced courses map to a named credential you can list by title.
Industrial Attachment and several others also hand you a take-home artifact: a working RTL block, a DRC-clean layout, a tapeout-ready GDSII.
