The best time to make chips is now.
Write Verilog, run synthesis, and take a real design to tape-out, all from a browser tab. Chip design has been gatekept for decades. Not anymore.
Free to start / No install / No licence
Backed by
From idea to silicon, the fast and easy way
IDE
Write Verilog in the browser, with linting, autosave, and an AI assistant on hand.
Analyse
Inspect timing, power, and area, with lint and DRC/LVS signoff, so you catch problems long before tape-out.
GDS
Push through the LibreLane flow to a real GDS layout, signed off on timing, power, and area.
Guided, hands-on learning paths
Go from your first logic gate to a full chip with structured courses built on real tooling. Mentorship and projects designed to make you genuinely industry-ready.
- Step-by-step Verilog to tape-out paths
- Practice on the same tools engineers use
- Build a portfolio of real designs
Design and simulate real circuits
Sketch analog and digital circuits on a browser canvas and run simulations instantly. No setup and no licences, just a schematic and a simulator.
- Sketch schematics in the browser
- Turn photos into schematics with AI
- Visualise results as you go
An assistant that knows chip design
Generate LibreLane configs and testbenches, explain errors, and fix them in place. The assistant is built into the workspace and understands the whole flow.
- Generate configs and testbenches
- Explain and fix flow errors inline
- Apply changes straight to your files
Whether you are learning or hiring.
Learn chip design, properly
Turn a theoretical background into real, industry-ready skill. Structured paths, the actual toolchain, and projects that move you from the lecture hall to the work that matters.
- Guided Verilog to tape-out paths
- Real EDA tools, zero setup
- A portfolio of real designs
Build your talent pipeline
Secure your supply of next-generation engineers. Partner with Vulkos to shape curriculum, spot vetted talent early, and cut the recruitment friction holding your team back.
- Shape the curriculum
- Spot vetted talent early
- Onboard faster, hire smarter
Built for learners. Trusted by the people who hire them.
I’ve learnt more about digital design using Vulkos in one week than in three months at uni.
It’s like Duolingo for semiconductors!
If someone came to an interview having used Vulkos, I’d be much more likely to hire them.

Questions, answered.
No. Vulkos runs entirely in the browser. The editor, simulator, and synthesis flow are all hosted, so there is no toolchain to install and no EDA licence to buy.
No. Our learning paths start from the fundamentals of digital logic and Verilog, then build up to running real synthesis. Regardless of your experience, start building your first chip today.
Real digital designs, from a simple counter to more complex logic, written in Verilog, simulated, and pushed through the open-source LibreLane flow to a GDS layout on the sky130 PDK.
Yes. The Free plan is free forever and includes the browser IDE, the Circuit Lab, core learning paths, and a weekly allowance of AI assistant messages and compute time.
Both. Learners use Vulkos to build industry-ready skills, and engineering teams and universities partner with us to train and source next-generation talent.
Industry-standard, open-source tooling: Verilog, simulation, and the LibreLane flow with the sky130 open PDK, so what you learn maps directly to real engineering work.
