About Ben Gribstad

20+ years of VLSI design experience ranging from full custom high speed transistor level design to automated RTL-to-GDSII ASIC flows using external and internal IP, more recently focusing on hierarchical DFT and ATPG. I have expertise in digital back-end design and flow development, including full chip synthesis, place and route, DFT logic definition, design and implementation for ATPG and MBIST, DFT insertion and verification. I am a strong believer in design re-use and automation. I\'m interested in ASIC and semi-custom flow development, methodology definition, and exciting challenges in hardware design.Specialties: Semi-custom and ASIC backend flow development and implementation, Design for Test, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, (iJTAG). Cross-functional and cross-cultural communication and leadership.
