Drove full lifecycle development of two mixed-signal designs, from kick-off to tape-out, for the Multiplexor and Signal Switches team.

• Owned all design verification (DV) activities for the TCA984x family of I²C-controlled switch devices, enabling reliable control between MCUs and system components in data center and server applications.
• Contributed to the design and verification of a complex SPI-controlled multiplexer incorporating proprietary control logic. Work supported a patent-qualifying innovation (details confidential pending product release).
• Architect and implement AMS verification environments. Run high-volume regressions on compute farms to identify bugs and validate IC performance, while collaborating with design teams around the globe.

Led full-chip physical design activities, spanning floor-planning, block-level layout, and package mount-and-bond diagrams.

• Earned rapid promotion within six months from an entry-level contributor to having full ownership of the physical designs of a family of six related ICs. The year-long project spanned three cores, three metal spins, and 43 package variants.
• Developed DRC rules in SKILL to address wide metal etching defects, improving design reliability and yield.
