About

Shivam Kumar is an accomplished Application Engineer with over 4 years of experience in the field. He is currently working with Synopsys Inc, where he has gained expertise in EDA tools such as Design Compiler and Fusion Compiler. Shivam has worked on multiple customer designs, meeting PPA expectations by utilizing his knowledge of RTL coding, cell mapping, placement, STA, power analysis, and congestion analysis. He has also prepared requirement specifications for Synthesis tool enhancements by conducting multiple experiments/investigations on RTL design, floorplan, library, and timing constraints. Prior to his current role, Shivam worked with ISRO, where he designed a Payload Simulator using VHDL code and XILINX ISE design suite 14.5. The simulator converts data into packets using space packet protocol, and the data was of three types: parallel 8 to 16 bit output of 7 to 16 bit PN sequence, incremental and decremental pattern, and raw data. He also designed a Down-link Formatter Multi Layer Board used in base band data handling of remote sensing satellites, which does encryption, channel coding, and randomization of payload's compressed data. Shivam completed his Bachelor of Engineering in Instrumentation and Electronics Engineering from Jadavpur University in 2019. Throughout his academic and professional career, he has demonstrated his ability to work on cutting-edge technologies and across the latest advanced technology foundry nodes. He is a skilled engineer with a deep understanding of the design process from RTL to GDSII implementation.
