PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Detail-oriented Electrical and Computer Engineering researcher and engineer specializing in Digital Design, VLSI, and full-flow ASIC development. Proven expertise spanning RTL architecture, mixed-signal integration, and physical design (RTL-to-GDSII). Academic track record includes serving as a VLSI Teaching Assistant and conducting advanced graduate research on Processing-in-Memory (PIM) hardware accelerators.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

  • Languages: Python, C, C++, Verilog, SystemVerilog, Assembly (8086), TCL
  • Tools & Frameworks: Linux, Git, Cadence Virtuoso, LaTeX, Genus, Voltus, Innovus, Xcelium

EDUCATION

  • M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering | Bar-Ilan University (2025 – Present)

  • Research Focus: Memristor-based memory architectures and Processing-in-Memory (PIM) hardware accelerators.

  • B.Sc. in Computer Engineering (Hardware & Chip Design Track) | Bar-Ilan University (2021 – 2025)

  • GPA: 89

  • Specialization: Digital Design, VLSI, and Hardware Development

RESEARCH and PROJECTS

Full-Flow ASIC Design Engineer – PIM Accelerator

  • Delivered a complete 1T1R-NOR memristor array for Processing-in-Memory from initial physical design to final GDSII generation.
  • Architected critical support structures, integrating custom power delivery and advanced sensing circuitry with digital controller RTL.
  • Created behavioral models to anchor the verification strategy and guarantee system functionality.
  • Managed the physical backend implementation, including place-and-route (PnR) setup, static timing analysis (STA), and strict DRC/LVS sign-off compliance.

SoftMax Accelerator (ASIC) – Enics Labs' XBOX SoC Platform

  • Developed SystemVerilog RTL modules, including finite state machines (FSMs), multiplexers, and pipelined datapaths.
  • Integrated hardware into the platform and wrote embedded test software.
  • Built testbenches and coverage scripts to validate architectural feasibility.

Assembly and Microcontrollers

  • Wrote drivers and applications for 8086 simulators, ADuC841, ESP32, and Arduino.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

  • Teaching Assistant – DDP and VLSI Courses | Bar-Ilan University (2025 – Present)
  • Deliver hands-on lab sessions covering RTL simulation, logic synthesis, and the complete backend implementation flow (RTL-to-GDSII).
  • Author comprehensive coursework assignments and construct automated SystemVerilog verification testbenches for student evaluation.
  • Provide technical guidance on Linux environments, tool automation, and Cadence Xcelium workflows.

MILITARY SERVICE

  • Radio Technician Team Lead – Oz "89" Brigade (2015 – 2018)
  • Supervised a team of 6–8 technicians responsible for radio systems maintenance and inspection.
  • Handled complex technical troubleshooting, team training, and documentation workflows.
