About

ASIC Design Engineer at Cisco working on networking ASICs and communication processors. My work centers on micro-architecture, RTL design, and frameworks. I hold a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California, where I worked on logic locking, NoC architecture, and memory systems. I’m particularly interested in hardware security and in simplifying complex hardware concepts through writing, diagrams, and technical talks. I enjoy sharing insights with the ASIC and chip design community and contributing to conversations around building secure, reliable silicon. If you’d like to have a structured 1:1 conversation around RTL design, microarchitecture, or hardware security, you can book time here: https://topmate.io/surabhi_misra/
