I am actively seeking opportunities in analog-mixed or digital integrated circuit design. I have 8 years of experience in the IC design field and possess expertise in design conceptualization, circuit design, simulation, layout, parasitic extraction, post-layout simulations, pad integration, chip closure, post-silicon validation, digital logic synthesis, and place-and-route. I also have experience in creating bonding diagrams for packaging, as well as testing at both room and high temperatures. Additionally, I have tested bare dies on a probe station and utilized the following lab test equipment for measurements: digital microscopes, oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers, and vector network analyzers.I am proficient in EDA tools including Cadence (ADE, ADEXL, Layout XL, Assura, Calibre, QRC, Spectre, Ultrasim), Mentor Graphics, Silvaco, and Sonnet EM simulator. As part of my research tasks, I have also gained experience in programming.I enjoy working with tools and exploring new technologies, continuously improving designs and workflows, documenting processes, presenting, and collaborating both in teams and independently.
