4 | Case Study 1 : Dual Port RAM - SystemVerilog TB

5 | Case Study 2 : Maven SoC - SystemVeriIog TB

The VLSI Verification Course starts with a good overview of functional verification methodologies and SystemVerilog language and then it explains the nuts and bolts of building a class-based verification environment using SystemVerilog HDVL in detail. As part of the SystemVerilog for Verification module, it trains you extensively on creating the test benches using OOP, constraint random simulation, and verification sign-off using functional coverage. Finally, it also walks you through UVM methodology concepts and explains the need of using IEEE standard methodologies like UVM to create SystemVerilog-based test benches.

VLSI Verification Course Curriculum

This course is very different from the standard textbooks and training courses available in the market. This verification course is completely based on a standard testbench architecture which can be used for creating SystemVerilog test benches and at the same they can be easily migrated to the UVM framework. Also, we use two main examples throughout the course to explain all the methodology and language concepts. One is a small dual port RAM RTL design which is used for explaining all the language concepts in detail, especially for the testbench implementation. The other one is a complex SOC design that is used for explaining the use cases of certain SystemVerilog language features and the challenges of migrating IP-level test benches to SOC-level test benches.

Any electronics engineer with a piece of good knowledge of RTL design using Verilog HDL can learn all the verification methodologies and SystemVerilog language concepts from this course and grow as a hands-on verification expert.

Maven Silicon’s Corporate Training for World’s leading IP Vendor

New College Grads Program


World's leading IP Vendor 

We continue to hire a large number of New College Grads in our organization from several Tier-1 colleges across all of India. Transitioning them from campus to industry, training them on VLSI flows, and getting them to productive levels where they can contribute to critical projects in the shortest possible time has been a challenge, due to the restricted bandwidth of our internal tech leads and a lack of a uniform training program across teams. Our collaboration with Maven Silicon on the New college grad training program provided us the flexibility to customize their pre-curated VLSI curriculum. It helped us scale and their online mode of delivery helped us maintain a balance between in-house project-specific training and the general VLSI curriculum. This helped us reduce the time to project readiness of the young engineers and get them deployed on critical project tasks faster and productively. Their trainers are very knowledgeable, experienced, and student-friendly. I look forward to furthering collaboration with Maven for our future training needs.

NCG's training was becoming difficult due to the Internal SME’s/Leads hectic schedules. Without formal and structured training, new members were having a hard time getting up to speed. This was causing a backlog and leading to delays in projects.

Problem Statement

Productivity of the Internal leads/Managers increased

Faster Time to Deployment for the New Engineers from onboarding to project assignment due to the right skill fitment

Following the implementation of the tailored training and development program, the productivity of internal leads and managers increased by 15-20% in relation to their assigned projects. Additionally, the time required for new engineers to be onboarded and assigned to projects decreased by 20% due to improved skill fitment.



The results demonstrate that a well-designed program, tailored to the specific needs of a business and its workforce, can lead to substantial improvements in performance and results.


VLSI SoC Design Training Center - Maven Silicon

To achieve this objective, a co-curated curriculum was developed between the client and Maven Silicon. The delivery was structured in a blended mode, where pre-recorded videos were provided along with 3 days of trainer's connect per week. The focus was on hands-on practice, with 70% of the training time dedicated to practical work and close monitoring through attendance and performance reports at intervals. To enhance the learning experience, projects were made more complex, allowing trainees to better understand the actual work. A 360-degree performance report was provided for each trainee to inform business decision-making by the client.

A co-created curriculum was established between the client and Maven Silicon, utilizing a blended mode of delivery that included both pre-recorded sessions and weekly trainer connections. Each learner was provided with a structured day planner to follow, ensuring a consistent and organized learning experience. Regular assessments, mentor support, individual lab reviews, and project source code evaluations were conducted to track progress and enhance understanding. Assistance with project implementation and access to reference materials were also provided for seamless execution and learning. Finally, 360-degree performance reports were generated for each trainee to inform and support business decision-making.

Maven Silicon’s Corporate Training for World’s leader in Engineering and R&D Service

New College Grads Program

World's leader in Engineering and R&D services 

Internal training is imperative to align goals & work together toward achieving those. However, lack of time in the leaders’ schedule to deliver critical training to internal leads & managers seemed to be the barrier. Additionally, a structured learning approach with multi skills that can be scalable if required was necessary. As with any Design Service company, the expense is always a constraint. Hence, designing a service that suits their budget was essential

Reduction in Time-to-Market for new joiners

This resulted in a significant improvement in the efficiency of the company's onboarding process. The implementation of a new strategy led to a 40% reduction in Time To Market for new employees, which is a crucial factor in ensuring a smooth and successful integration into the company. This decrease in Time To Market also had a positive impact on the company's bottom line, leading to a reduction in bench overhead costs by 30%.


This outcome highlights the importance of streamlining processes and using data-driven approaches to drive business success.

The DD, DV and DFT learning tracks have been separated into three distinct batches to accommodate different trainee schedules. A blended learning approach has been implemented, with daily live trainers connect each week. An induction session with Maven and client stakeholders has been planned to enhance the learners' engagement and promote better learning outcomes. Engagement activities have been designed to increase trainee interest and excitement for client projects. Behavioural and communication training will be provided to prepare the trainees for client interviews. Regular knowledge assessments and weekly reports to the business team will track learning progress. Special sessions with client leads and managers will be held every three months to evaluate progress and assess trainee readiness. Labs and project code reviews will support project completion and informed business decision-making, ensuring proper skill placement.

The lack of time due to the busy schedules of SMEs/Leads led to the delay in the delivery of a structured training plan for the New College Grads. They were in search of an expert vendor who can take charge and deliver the best possible training services for the New Hires.


Reduction of time taken to market for client's R&D


The time to market was significantly reduced by 50%, from 6 months to just 3 months, a key metric improvement for client's R&D.

The program helped employees to quickly acquire the skills they need to contribute to client's R&D efforts, and led to more efficient and effective product development.

A thorough needs analysis was conducted with relevant stakeholders at client, resulting in a co-created curriculum with a blended delivery mode. A customized New College Grads training program was designed for client's employees.The program spanned over three months and included both pre-recorded videos and weekly live training sessions with four trainers. Assessments, knowledge checks, lab exercises, and source code reviews were conducted to track progress and provide updates to the business team. The program included topic and module-wise knowledge assessments, mentor support, individual lab reviews, and source code reviews. Trainees received assistance in project implementation and access to reference materials for effective learning and execution. A 360-performance report was submitted at the end of the training to inform business decisions.
