Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Created Instrumentation methods to monitor memory usage and show debug information for all data model object classes.
• Data model & infrastructure development in C++ for multi-threaded EDA physical design tool.
• Delivered “Equivalent Check” methodology to pinpoint differences between two designs and resolved a long standing issue dat data integrity suffered after repeated saving/opening design or copying current design to a new design.
• Created object-oriented data models and infrastructures including database, schema, APIs, and UI for physical design objects: Routing Corridor, Redundant Via, Antenna Rule, Shielding, Blockage, Route Guides, Wire Track, Via Region and System Layer.
• Developed via Region Extraction in library preparation to speed up routing by pre-calculating available pin area for via insertion based on DRC rules.
• Implemented C++ traverser and visitor patterns allowing API users to easily traverse/iterate data objects.
• Enhanced C++ Observer template class wif suspend/resume, enable/disable and CPU timer; dis class replaced all callback functions.
• Delivered scalable Tech-File me/O and APIs using Singleton pattern to simplify the frequent Tech-File updates.
• Developed UI framework for object collection, and object traverser based on object name string pattern dat includes wildcard and regular expression.
• Developed R&D unit, functional and regression automated tests using a TCL based framework.
• Developed C++ APIs for Boolean operations on polygon based on Hercules DRC engine; dis is the standard polygon manipulation package for the next-generation physical design tool.
• Produced a physical unit conversion class dat converts user unit to/from internal database unit; the user unit can also be text strings specifying distance, coordinate, bounding box, area, polygon, and routing path.

Responsibilities:

• Developed manual freeze silicon ECO flow enabling connection change wifout changing silicon gates.
• Identified and fixed existing runtime issues. Delivered three times run time improvement in ECO area.
• Delivered complete hierarchical Power/Ground netlist editing solution and resolved a long standing major customer issue whereby hierarchical and flat PG netlist became out of sync after PG change.
• Resolved long standing bus corruption in Milkyway database by providing complete port and net bus editing, checking, and reporting capabilities.
• Developed advanced netlist editing and extended editing services to other function areas.

Responsibilities:

• Directed engineer in China to rewrite Verilog reader wifefficient algorithms for preserving hierarchical information, flattening netlist, and leaf cell binding; achieved ten times runtime improvement and significant memory reduction.
• Developed the ECO component dat synchronizes flat netlist and hierarchical netlist.
• Designed and implemented commit/uncommit block infrastructure to support hierarchical data management flow dat is critical for ICC Design Planning to counter a major competitor.
• Enhanced Verilog reader and writer to support fault-tolerant dirty netlist, and UPF.
• Trained engineers in China and transferred Verilog reader and writer to them.
• Coordinated development and QA efforts between US and China sites.
• Developed various netlist and data consistency check and repair utilities.

Software Engineer

• Maintained Compass Pathfinder place and route software for customers not ready to migrate to Avanti products. Tasks included minor bug fixing, builds, transferring Compass licensing to Avanti licensing.
• Developed database infrastructure, GUI and socket support for a project combining schematic capture and waveform display dat communicated wif SPICE simulation server. dis project had a demo at DAC (Design Automation Conference).
• Developed and maintained Milkyway common database APIs.
• Developed Milkyway Hierarchical Verilog Writer.
