Subject: Microchip University collaboration – FPGA/MCU verification education

Hi Microchip team,

I'm Abinaya, a Design Verification Engineer with an M.S. in ECE and an active IEEE member (Technical Committee member and reviewer). I create educational content on semiconductor design verification, UVM/SystemVerilog and AI for hardware for an engaged audience of practicing and aspiring engineers on LinkedIn and YouTube.

Why I'm reaching out: FPGA (PolarFire) and MCU verification are directly relevant, and Microchip University + the Academic Partners Program are strong free-education routes. I'd love to explore a collaboration through Microchip University / Academic Partners Program — creating genuinely useful, technically rigorous content rather than a one-off promo.

A few ideas I had in mind:

  • FPGA verification primer on Microchip PolarFire flows.
  • Microchip University-style module on MCU test/validation.
  • LinkedIn series on low-power verification.

I'm equally open to unpaid, product/access-based or ambassador arrangements — my priority is a long-term, trusted relationship. Could I send over a short proposal and content samples, or connect with the right person on your team?

Thank you for your time and for the work Microchip does for the engineering community.

Warm regards,

Abinaya

🔁 Follow-up (no response, ~5–7 days later)

Hi again — following up on my note about collaborating with Microchip on educational content for the verification/AI-hardware community. Totally understand inboxes get busy. If there's a better person or channel for creator/DevRel partnerships, I'd be grateful for a pointer. Happy to share my content samples and a short proposal whenever timing works. Thanks so much!
