Marlin Jones possesses expertise in soc, semiconductors, embedded systems, asic, ic and 29 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I had the privilege of working with Marlin Jones for over 5 years as Sr. Director of our embedded solutions at Xilinx which included hardware, software and IP. Marlin knows how to lead a team to success as he is a pragmatic leader with solid business acumen. He is data driven and results orientated with wonderful attention to detail. Marlin consistently put the customer first while directing his team to meet corporate goals. He was collaborative and a team player and one of the best at developing and delivering commercial products. Marlin is a personable guy and his genuine integrity and respect made him a terrific partner that I would welcome the opportunity to work with again." and "Marlin hired me into Xilinx to develop a new 20 nm high-speed I/O and memory PHY. To make DDR4 speeds, while still supporting legacy-use, we re-architected 6 generations of Xilinx's IO interface. Marlin championed my ideas within the company. He nurtured an environment that ensured such a massive architectural change was visible across multiple teams and disciplines in order to hash out concerns and get universal buy-in from engineering through marketing to sales. The result is a resounding success that has placed us leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. I have to say I developed and learned more in my 3+ years under Marlin's management/mentoring than any other position during my 19 years in semiconductors. He constantly tied the teams efforts to clear business objectives. He is highly collaborative, leads by example, and is calm under pressure. On top of fine management skills, Marlin's technical skills, particularly his system knowledge, are beyond reproach."
