I help semiconductor teams adopt, automate, and troubleshoot SPICE, circuit, and physical verification flows.
What I'm looking for
I've supported semiconductor design teams at Aniah, Aselta Nanographics, STMicroelectronics, Dolphin Design, ARM France, and Mentor Graphics across circuit verification, SPICE simulation, and physical verification.
At STMicroelectronics, I implemented Calibre-based verification flows across 20nm–140nm nodes and automated PDK workflows, reducing component development time from five days to one. At ARM France, I supported memory design flows for three international design centers and led an AWS cloud migration for a major flow component.
I build training, demonstrations, integration guides, and automation that help customers adopt EDA tools. I work comfortably in Linux environments using Python, Tcl, and C, and collaborate directly with EDA R&D and tool vendors to resolve complex design-flow issues.
