Shiva Kolli — Engineering Manager

I am an Engineering professional with more than 20 years of experience spanning IP development, standard cell design, memory compiler enablement, and advanced-node execution across global semiconductor organizations. My core expertise sits at the intersection of deep technical engineering and strategic program leadership, enabling me to deliver silicon-ready IP solutions while driving operational excellence and global release success. Over the course of my career, I have led the development and characterization of standard cell libraries from 90nm down to 7nm nodes, architected high-performance libraries optimized for area, leakage, and power, and supported memory compiler and automotive-grade IP qualification. I bring strong hands-on understanding of design, simulation, extraction, and PVT characterization complemented by the ability to govern releases, establish methodology improvements, and enforce cross-functional quality alignment. In my current role, I lead automotive memory qualification initiatives, improve compiler release methodologies, and collaborate closely with design, QA, and foundry engineering teams to strengthen IP quality and compliance. Prior to this, I managed global memory programs, serving as the single point of contact for release certification, customer qualification, and lithography sign-off, while driving multi-site execution and on-time delivery. What differentiates me is the combination of technical depth, program leadership, and a strong focus on quality execution enabling me to bridge engineering, release management, and business expectations effectively. I enjoy building methodology, solving complex engineering challenges, optimizing release processes, and partnering across global teams to deliver trusted IP at scale. I am passionate about developing high-quality semiconductor IP, supporting next-generation technology roadmaps, and enabling strong customer outcomes through reliable and performance-optimized solutions. 00009
