01Overview
About Electronic Design Automation
Electronic Design Automation is about designing the electronics inside devices and writing the code that runs on them. Microcontroller & Embedded C teaches how to program microcontrollers, work with ports, timers, interrupts and communication interfaces, and test code on real boards. OrCAD PCB Design covers schematic capture, footprints, placement, routing and manufacturing outputs. Automotive Embedded Systems explains how software runs inside vehicle control units, and Embedded Linux & Yocto shows how Linux is built and customised for embedded hardware. MATLAB is cross-listed for signal and system work.
Embedded and PCB skills are in steady demand in automotive electronics, consumer devices, industrial controls and medical equipment. Many of these companies sit in Chennai, Sriperumbudur, Hosur and Bengaluru, within reach of Katpadi, Vellore and Ranipet. ECE and EEE students often find core electronics jobs hard to reach with only college knowledge, and this domain fills that gap with bench practice. You write firmware, design a board and debug problems the way a junior embedded engineer would in the first months of a job.
How to choose: Start with Microcontroller & Embedded C if you are new to firmware, and take OrCAD PCB Design if you are more interested in hardware and boards. After the basics, choose Automotive Embedded Systems for vehicle electronics or Embedded Linux & Yocto for Linux-based devices.
Skills you will gain

- Microcontroller peripherals and interrupts
- Serial protocols such as UART, SPI and I2C
- Schematic capture and PCB layout
- Footprints, routing and Gerber output

06FAQ
Electronic Design Automation – FAQ
Still have a question? The counsellor at the centre you prefer replies on WhatsApp.
Ask on WhatsAppDo I need to know C before Embedded C?
Basic C helps a lot. If you have not learnt C yet, the counsellor may suggest C Programming first.
What is the difference between embedded and PCB design?
Embedded work is mainly about writing the software for a device, while PCB design is about designing the physical circuit board.
What is Yocto?
Yocto is a set of tools used to build custom Linux systems for embedded hardware, common in automotive and industrial devices.
Are embedded jobs available for freshers?
Yes, especially in automotive and product firms around Chennai, Hosur and Bengaluru. Strong basics and a project help you stand out.
Will I work with real hardware?
Yes. Embedded courses use development boards and components for practice.
What is the fee for embedded and PCB courses at CareerKraft?
Fees depend on the course and level you choose. Message the counsellor at your preferred centre on WhatsApp and they will share the current fee, any running offers and EMI options.
Can I learn embedded and PCB online or only in the classroom?
You can choose Classroom, Online or Hybrid. The mode depends on trainer availability for your course, so confirm it with the centre when you enquire.
Do you offer placement support after the course?
Yes. We offer placement support: help with your resume and portfolio, mock interviews and job leads. We do not promise or guarantee a job, but we help you prepare well and apply with confidence.
