Felipe has contributed in the EDA industry for more than 17 years with mixed R&D and Field Engineering roles. His experience (software engineering and silicon design) spans multiple design disciplines: from automatic layout generation and characterization to logic & physical synthesis, transistor-level STA and finally, how to put it everything together without hurting the tapeout schedule of design team.
