Senior Staff Application Consultant

Jan 2004 – Present · 22 yrs 5 mos · CamberleyReading, Berkshire

I have worked as an Application Consultant at Synopsys supporting and promoting Synopsys' digital implementation products since 2004.
My primary specialisation is static timing and signal integrity analysis (STA/SI), signoff methodology and ECO design closure flows. I have been the European technical team lead for Synopsys' market leading EDA tools in this area (PrimeTime Suite) since 2006. This position ensures that I have excellent visibility of emerging signoff technologies, good understanding of the competitive marketplace, and have regular opportunity to influence the product direction and development.
In addition to my signoff based activities, I am an expert in the area of logic synthesis using Synopsys Design Compiler including physical synthesis techniques, and am the technical account lead for a significant UK based IP-provider.
I regularly host meetings, both technical and managerial, internally and with customers. I regularly contribute to, review and deliver technical presentations and papers, and I deliver advanced technical training regularly externally and internally.
