Karan Handa — Software Engineer

Highly skilled Digital Design Engineer with over 6.5 years of hands-on experience in the design, development, and validation of complex digital systems, particularly in high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, MIPI, and SerDes. My expertise spans RTL design, front-end flows, and comprehensive verification using industry-standard protocols. Throughout my career, I have gained profound experience in implementing and optimizing design methodologies across various high-performance domains, from validating corner cases and enhancing IP quality performing thorough front-end static checks and achieving production-level validation. With a strong foundation in PCIe Gen6, MIPI, and high-speed SerDes PHY designs, I have successfully integrated advanced protocol knowledge and architecture to develop robust and compliant PHYs. My hands-on experience in using tools like Spyglass, Jasper Gold for CDC and Lint checks, as well as Scan insertion and pattern generation for DFT/ATPG, has equipped me to drive design validation at every stage of the development cycle. I am also well-versed in working with power integrity solutions like Voltus, where I have focused on optimizing both static and dynamic power at full-chip and cell levels to ensure high-efficiency designs. In addition, I bring advanced skills in working with various network tools, such as Wireshark, for testing and validating co-existence scenarios in WLAN/BT systems. I have developed a strong understanding of wireless communication protocols and co-existence testing, which has allowed me to evaluate throughput, interference, and interoperability in diverse conditions. My hands-on experience with ASIC design flows, low technology nodes and power gating methodologies have enhanced my ability to manage power efficiency in designs while ensuring compliance with industry standards. As I continue to contribute to innovative projects, I remain dedicated to delivering high-quality digital designs that meet the most demanding performance in today’s competitive technology landscape.
