Jul 2007 – Sep 2016 · 9 yrs 2 mos · CPU-GPU, ST Microelectronics

• Result Oriented Technical Leader with ~ 9 years of experience in the field of Physical Design and Signoff with the following responsibilities for various projects :
• Individual Contributor: Participated in multiple ARM core implementations including A15, A9, A7, R4 sub-systems. The tasks varied from
• Floorplanning,
• Place and Route
• Signoff and Physical Verification
• My responsibility was to own a task and work with the team towards timely completion of projects with best in class PPA.
• Physical Design and STA Lead: In this role the objective was to lead a small team and in parallel work on the Physical Design and Signoff of ARM cores. On top of regular Physical Design activities, this involved cross-domain interactions with RTL, Synthesis, DFT and Verification experts. It also required, continuously driving the EDA tools and IP teams (standard-cells and memories) to enable the best PPA in the industry.
• Technical Project Lead: The responsibility was to lead a cross-domain team to successfully execute the hardening and verification of ARM cores with Physical Design activities in parallel. This role involved interaction and collaboration with SOC leads for their requirements of ARM cores for various SOCs. CPU being the most critical part of the SOC, my responsibility was to ensure the best possible PPA with glitch-free integration of the macro at the SOC level.
