Responsible for the physical implementation of Video Codec Hard Macros for Exynos low power processors and ModAP (application processor including a modem) in 28nm and 14nm.Co-lead an initiative on innovation in Samsung France Research Center.

Dallas, Tx, Us

Lead the design of an OMAP5 SoC derivative.

Dallas, Tx, Us

Responsible for the physical implementation and tape-out of OMAP5430/32.Project Management:• Drove design team activities from netlist to tape-out. (Team of 17 engineers + some subcontractors.)• Defined work breakdown structure, deliverables and milestones.• Developed and maintain top-level schedule. Assess resources needs. • Worked with multi-site and multi-cultural teams. Defined and negotiated deliverables, milestones and quality requirements with Indian, American and local teams.• Managed technical risks. Lead peer reviews and lessons learned.• Worked with external EDA vendors to get releases of the tools which would be able to handle OMAP5 complexity.• Ensured compliance to TI quality process and standards.• Communicated effective team activities reports at several hierarchical level of the company.• Co-lead a cross-functional multi-site 28nm Task Force during 7 months: Defined priorities, reviewed technical risks and presented the results to senior management in two worldwide reviews. Technical aspects:• TI’s first integrated circuit in 28nm process: low-power multi-million gates design including a dual A15 ARM core, multiple voltages and power domains, complex clock trees, static and dynamic power management. Able to support LPDDR2 or DDR3 in two different packages.• Team’s responsibility : design work from Netlist to GDSII (Synthesis - STA - Place and route - Timing and leakage optimization – Static and dynamic IR drop analysis - Physical design checks – Tape-out).• Handled new constraints introduced by the 28nm process.
