Experience

1. Engineering Manager

   Intel

   Aug 2008 — Present

   Managing the standard cell path-finding team and responsible for defining and delivering digital standard cell libraries used for all Intel products. Cross-Geo managing experience. •Key architect of Intel’s standard cell libraries in several recent technology nodes. Experience working with Intel Litho/OPC/Integration teams to define an industry competitive standard cell library architecture for Intel\'s next generation products. •Define and enable libraries to evaluate technology options during early path-finding and continue to develop strategies for the comprehensive library development, release and support for test chip and product use. •Responsible for defining the library development strategy, collateral and validation strategies and on time release of Intel logic libraries for test-chip development • Proposed and productized several design, technology co-optimizations features in Intel 10nm and Intel 7nm designs to improve performance, reduce power, increase router track porosity, and reduce router timing miss-correlations. • Architect of several automation specs that has enabled Intel speed up the library generation TAT by up to 12x. The strategy is utilized in all the library generation of Intel’s latest products. Furthermore, instrumental to adopt physical layout synthesis automation tool with capability to produce a PV optimized layout for library development. •Instrumental in the research and development of techniques for the smooth integration of the features in a new process technology node with the existing design methodology and product usage of standard cell architectures. •Knowledge of Industry standard routers and its features aids during library definition to create libraries that are better suited for high performance/density needs and also provides the insights of mandatory router enhancements to better realize the benefits of a new process technology feature
