Reporting to the CEO, I have overall responsibility for defining the strategy and implementing the detail for our own reconfigurable DSP silicon IP and our client's designs. This includes architectural refinement, FPGA prototyping, RTL design, code generation, verification, synthesis, CAD, data management and IP / silicon delivery.

Led requirements capture and specification writing for the digital portion of the first chip in a family of standard product mixed signal power management ICs. Conceived and implemented top level architecture of the chip; ultra low power clock and power gating system; autogeneration infrastructure for register map and block interfaces; configuration.

Managing chip projects from concept though implementation to tapeout and bringup. Technical lead for chip architecture, implementation, verification and layout. Hands on engineering for implementation and verification.Our chips are high performance accelerators for the technical compute, HPC and embedded DSP markets.The last chip was a 90nm, 250 million.

Designed and verified RISC processor for the control of a SIMD parallel processor. Designed and verified single / double precession IEEE 754 floating point unit. Verified and modified external DDRII IP. Signoff management. Production chip was on 130nm and 15mmx15mm.

Design and verification of various PDH, SDH and ATM designs implemented in either FPGA or ASIC.

Design, verification, synthesis and STA of numerous ASICs and FPGAs. Project managed one ASIC.
