Kartik Bhardwaj — Software Engineer
I design analog and mixed-signal circuits that work on silicon — not just in simulation. Around 5 years in the semiconductor industry, with deep specialization in high-speed SerDes design across TSMC 3nm FinFET, TSMC N2 GAAFET, and Samsung 4nm process nodes. My work spans the full design flow — from specification and schematic to post-layout verification and tape-out readiness. Technical focus areas: → SerDes signal chain: Signal detection, RX termination, CMUX, Clock distribution, LVDS interface,GPIO, standard cell characterization → Simulation: DC, AC, Transient, Stability, Jitter, Monte Carlo, Corner analysis → Post-layout: LPE extraction, parasitic-aware analysis, Paragon-X correlation → Standards: PCIe , USB , UFS, GMII, 10Gbps+ SerDes Tools: Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE-XL, Explorer, Assembler, Paragon-X Currently working on high-speed SerDes design blocks at advanced FinFET nodes for leading semiconductor client engagements. M.Tech in VLSI Design — 97.3% Honours | GATE ECE Scholar | All India Rank 13 (BEL Exam) Open to connecting with engineers, founders, and teams working in high-speed analog, mixed-signal, and SerDes design.
