Vishakh Venugopal — Software Engineer

A passionate VLSI professional with 6 years of industry experience, specializing in the verification and validation of complex SoC designs. I hold a Master’s degree in VLSI Design from NITK Surathkal, where I built a strong foundation in digital design and verification, complemented by a year-long internship at Intel as a Graduate Technical Intern. Currently, I work at Qualcomm, where I focus on post-silicon debug support for Snapdragon CPUs, scandump collection and decoding, automation of debug flows and development of debug infrastructure. Over the past 5 years in AMD, I have gained strong expertise in the verification of non-scan features such as JTAG, clocking, and MBIST, enabling me to contribute to the robustness and reliability of advanced SoC architectures. I am deeply motivated by solving complex verification challenges and accelerating debug workflows through automation. As an advanced-level Python programmer, I leverage object-oriented design principles to develop efficient and scalable solutions for diverse problems. I am also proficient with industry-standard debug tools like Verdi, which strengthen my ability to analyze, isolate, and resolve issues effectively.
