Work History

Staff Hardware Engineer

Tesla, Inc.
06.2021 - Current

Allreduce IP Verification

  • Led verification of Tesla’s first-generation custom Allreduce engine from IP through multi-chip emulation, achieving 100% functional coverage with waivers.
  • Architected a multi-platform Python stimulus generator and golden reference model capable of producing valid multi-chip stimulus and checkers for both simulation and emulation.
  • Developed a scalable UVM testbench from scratch with reusable checkers, scoreboards, and coverage models.
  • Owned test planning, regression triage, and closure of all coverage metrics
  • Partnered with RTL and performance modeling teams to detect and resolve key performance bottlenecks ahead of schedule.

DMA Subsystem Verification

  • Co-developed the DMA subsystem testbench ensuring correct inter-block synchronization across all test modes.
  • Built end-to-end checkers enabling early detection of functional bugs, significantly reducing debug cycles.
  • Architected a scalable multi-DMA verification environment spanning multiple SoCs, exposing critical cross-SOC corner-case issues.

RandGen – Standalone SOC Stimulus Generator

  • Designed a Python-based random stimulus framework leveraging architectural specifications to produce stimulus and memory vectors, routing data, and checker collateral for DMA verification.
  • Created reusable libraries for memory management, preload utilities, system routing, and instruction randomization — greatly reducing test development time.

Slice IP Verification

  • Led verification of a custom memory fabric interconnect linking multiple internal NOCs to the memory controller.
  • Built a UVM environment with drivers, monitors, checkers, and constrained-random stimulus to achieve full functional and code coverage.

Emulation

  • Developed self-checking multi-SOC test flows for Cadence Palladium, reducing manual debug effort.
  • Created synthesizable modules to trigger hard-to-reach corner-case scenarios.

Hardware Development Intern

Tesla
08.2020 - 12.2020
  • Developed checkers, assertions and scoreboards to verify AXI4 interfaces and NOC connectivity.
  • Developed scripts to generate custom stimulus to target corner cases and to perform instruction coverage analysis.

Design Verification Engineer Intern

Microsoft
05.2020 - 08.2020

• Designed and integrated a synthesizable AXI4 monitor to be used on the Cadence Palladium Emulator.

• Developed scripts to generate customized logs based on user preference to aid in test debug.
