What I'm looking for

I'm looking to help semiconductor teams adopt and improve EDA design and verification flows through hands-on technical support, automation, training, and close collaboration with customers, R&D teams, and tool vendors.

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.
