Professional Summary

Senior Digital Engineer with over 6+ years of expertise in High-Speed IP Integration, RTL Design, and FPGA Prototyping. Proven track record in integrating complex third-party IPs (Rambus MACsec, Synopsys PCIe Gen5) and achieving timing closure at 1.3GHz. Expert in bridging pre-silicon verification (HAPS) and post-silicon qualification (CP/FT) using industry-standard ATE (Advantest 93K), with a focus on de-risking system bring-up and optimizing verification cycles.

Work Experience

MediaTek Inc. Hsinchu City, Taiwan
Senior Digital Engineer 2021/06 – Present
  • Digital Design & RTL: Designed and verified an AXI/AMBA-compliant Dual-Port SRAM Controller targeted at 533MHz. Proficient in protocol implementation and full front-end flow (Lint, CDC, Synthesis).
  • MACsec Integration: Integrated Rambus MACsec into complex SoC subsystems, achieving 1.3GHz timing closure using Cadence Genus/Innovus. Successfully delivered IEEE 802.1AE 112G re-timer solution.
  • FPGA Prototyping (HAPS): Led HAPS-based emulation to de-risk system bring-up. Successfully validated low-power driver development in FPGA environment, reducing verification cycle time by 30% compared to previous generations.
  • Post-Silicon & Testability: Orchestrated comprehensive post-silicon testplans. Defined pre-silicon test hardware (Probe Cards/Load Boards) and co-developed Advantest 93K test programs. Ensured critical testing IPs (JTAG, UART, SPI, GPIO) were fully verified for SoC integration.
Digital Engineer 2019/09 – 2021/05
  • PCIe Integration (MT66007): Integrated Synopsys PCIe Gen5 MAC layer (1GHz) and applied a complete Lint/CDC/DC/LEC workflow, delivering a timing-clean database to APR teams. Successfully verified PCIe 5.0 32GT/s compliance at PCI-SIG.
  • Emulation: Assisted in FPGA/Palladium emulation flow setup and debugging to accelerate system-level verification.
