About Rakesh Pednekar

Overall, 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry.• Approximately 7 years of experience in the field of AMS modeling and digital mixed signal verification. It involves: Responsible for leading AMS verification activity with a team of 4 people, for RRAM 8Mb and 24Mb Memory and Test Chip IP’s. Setup AMS verification environments from scratch mostly in verilog and verilog-AMS. This is done in both Cadence and Synopsys Verification environments. Critical resource of the AMS verification team handling 112Gb and 60Gb SERDES IP’s. This involved Top level SERDES IP verification. Block Level verification was also done by developing Wreal models for Analog blocks and verify them against schematic behavior using Co-Sim methodology. Aided in developing behavioral RTL for digital IP’s and correlating them with unit delay GLS and SDF annotated GLS netlists. Contributed to USB 2.0 PHY IP Top Level AMS verification.• More than 3 years of experience in analog modeling and verification of power management blocks across various architectures and topologies with over 100+ components delivered independently. • Mentoring juniors technically. An enthusiastic and a fast learner
