About Ravikumar Rajamanickam

SoC Design Engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in Micro-architecture, RTL design, and subsystem integration for complex System-on-Chips (SoCs). My journey in the semiconductor industry began with an internship at my current organization, where I transitioned into a full-time role and have grown ever since.I hold a postgraduate degree in Microelectronics & VLSI Design, with hands-on academic and project experience in computer graphics, image processing, machine learning, digital IC design, and FPGA prototyping. This foundation complements my professional focus and fuels my curiosity for innovation at both system and circuit levels.Driven by a passion for purposeful engineering and continuous learning, I resonate deeply with Swami Vivekananda’s words:“Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.”
