Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Plumb is a Senior Staff Engineer specializing in analog/mixed-signal IC CAD with 16+ years of hands-on experience delivering and supporting Cadence Virtuoso-based flows across CMOS and BiCMOS/SiGe foundries. He combines deep EDA tooling expertise—SKILL, OpenAccess, Assura/Calibre, MMSIM/IUS—with specification-driven verification and behavioral modeling to accelerate system-level validation. At Marvell and prior at Inphi/Cortina he has owned complex CAD support and custom model-generation flows that bridge R&D and tapeout. An active open-source contributor, he has improved OpenSCAD’s MCAD library and automated macOS build flows for OpenSCAD, reflecting a practical maker mindset that also surfaces in 3D printing and firmware/hardware hobbies. Based in Ottawa, he pairs formal engineering training from Queen’s with a knack for scripting and automation that quietly keeps multi-node design ecosystems running.

OpenSCAD - The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
Role in this project:
Automation Engineer / Build & Release Engineer
Automation Engineer / Build & Release EngineerContributions:35 commits, 8 PRs, 57 comments in 4 years 8 months
Contributions summary:Andrew focused on improving the build process and dependency management for OpenSCAD on macOS. They modified build scripts to use PWD-dependent paths, conditionally download dependencies, and incorporate changes from the master branch. They also updated the macOS build dependencies script, adding support for 64-bit builds, and including Eigen2. Further work involved addressing compiler warnings and setting up the build environment via setenv_mjau.sh and addressing issues related to the Qt directory.

OpenSCAD Parametric CAD Library (LGPL 2.1)
Role in this project:Software Engineer
Software EngineerContributions:6 commits in 24 days
Contributions summary:Andrew primarily focused on adding and improving functionality within the OpenSCAD parametric CAD library. Their contributions include the implementation of a `braille_ascii_font()` function, followed by subsequent revisions to improve spacing accuracy and overall code quality. Furthermore, the user introduced a `polytext()` module to simplify text rendering using the existing font definitions and added features such as bold, underline, and strike modifiers.
