My focus during my career has been on chip design, working on all aspects of the design. I've worked on RTL (Register-Transfer Level) design, architecture, VLSI (Very Large Scale Implementation), including VLSI library design, test, and verification. The last 10 years have been focused on UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) verification. I have worked for HP, Scientific Atlanta, Cisco, and now Broadcom. Currently working on chips for cable modems and head ends. If you are interested at all in chip design, I can answer your questions about the industry.
