Support student chip design.

The ASIC Network connects active student hardware clubs across North America, Europe, and Asia. Every new chapter we onboard naturally extends the reach of our existing partners. We keep the partner list small and deliberate: the trust of our member clubs is our most important asset, so we are highly selective about who we work with.

Talent partner01

Recruiting pipeline

Students in the ASIC Network do real chip design, not coursework. When you post roles through the network, chapter leads surface candidates they know personally and would vouch for. You get a curated shortlist instead of a resume drop. Students get interviews with companies that actually understand hardware hiring.

What you enable
A stronger signal between serious students and the teams that need them.
What you earn
Warm referrals from people embedded in a community you do not have to build yourself.
Tooling partner02

Ecosystem reach

The biggest gap between school and industry is professional tool fluency. Tooling partners support workshops and standardized flows so students train on real EDA environments. They graduate ready to contribute in your stack from day one.

What you enable
Engineers who are already productive in professional tools before they walk in the door.
What you earn
Future hires and users who instinctively reach for your platform because it is what they learned on.
Silicon partner03

Tape-out support

Most student designs never leave a simulator. Silicon partners make the best projects real by funding tape-outs. Every chip is openly documented: PDK used, what worked, what did not. Transparent, student-generated evidence of your platform's real-world performance.

What you enable
Students who have actually taped out and tested silicon.
What you earn
Credible, independently created case studies that show your technology works in student hands. Proof that is hard to fake and valuable for outreach.

Partner early.

We are actively expanding with some of the strongest student hardware communities globally. Partnering early means your reach grows into every new chapter we onboard, automatically and with no contracts to revisit. If your company is serious about working with the next generation of hardware talent, we would like to talk.
