  • NXP Semiconductors - Technology, Design & Flows - Consulting Principal & Design Engineer

    Colombelles 2007 - 2009 Acting as an internal consultant bringing transistor level design expertise within various Business Units development groups from mobile applications to automotive and identification. Expertise is covering specific memory developments, (ultra dense ROM for Identification), hard IP customizations for new technology requirements (deep Nwell usage, DFM awareness), program management and foundry partner interface.
  • NXP Semiconductors - Advanced Memory Design R&D Manager

    Colombelles 2006 - 2007 Crolles2 Alliance - Advanced Memory Design R&D Manager
    Technical leadership of a multi-cultural team of expert memory designers from the three parent companies of the Crolles2 Alliance. Studies were targetting new embedded memory concepts for 45nm/32nm CMOS technologies (original design solutions for SRAM, Z-RAM on bulk, 3T DRAM). Communication with parent companies at different hierarchical levels was a key aspect:
    * Organization of workshops to define group objectives with parent companies program managers.
    * Deployment and support of results to parent companies development groups
    * Close interaction with foundry development for exploration of new technologies and designs.
