Hi there, I'm Sagarđź‘‹
I try to solve some of the difficult problems in the VLSI industry, typically in the domains of Synthesis, Sign-Off and Low-Power using Computer Aided Design (CAD) algorithms and tools (occasionally using Machine Learning).
Education
2015 - 2019
National Institute of Technology, Rourkela
Bachelors of Technology, Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Work Experience
June 2019 - Present
Applications Engineer
Synopsys, India
Presently working in Digital Design Group of the company with the HLD (High Level Design) team supporting front-end tools for Synthesis, Power and Timing Analysis. I have helped Qualcomm (India and SanDiego teams) in successfully taping out multiple 5/7nm designs over the last 2 years by providing support in Synthesis and Sign-off cycles.
