Karthikeya GHSV — Software Engineer

I’m GHSV Karthikeya, a VLSI engineer with hands-on experience in Physical Design across advanced process nodes. Over the past 1.4+ years, I worked at Synopsys, contributing to Intel’s 18A and 5nm designs, where I gained practical exposure to the full RTL-to-GDSII flow. I’ve supported APR, timing closure, voltage area analysis, and QoR improvements on million-instance blocks using tools like Fusion Compiler and PrimeTime. I enjoy solving tough technical problems, optimizing designs for power, performance, and area, and collaborating with teams to deliver efficient designs. My background also includes RF system design from my time at ISRO–NRSC, where I built and tested SAR-specific modulators. Outside work, I’ve won hardware hackathons, taught rural students, and published a research paper. I’m driven by continuous learning and excited to contribute to impactful semiconductor technologies.
