Summary
Ankur Agrawal is an IC packaging engineer and hands-on technical leader with 11+ years driving package design for manufacturability, process development, and reliability across 2D/2.5D/3D and silicon photonics products. He has led cross-geo teams and OSAT/substrate vendor engagements from concept through HVM, delivering qualified pluggable transceivers (100G–800G), pioneering co-packaged optics demos, and enabling LiDAR photonic IC assembly. At Intel he reduced design timelines, standardized package design rules, and blended hardware, firmware, and systems work to ship high-performance reference platforms; he now applies that multidisciplinary practice at Apple in Cupertino. Trained as a PhD chemical engineer from Georgia Tech with an IIT Kanpur B.Tech, he combines deep materials/process insight with system-level product delivery—and, off the clock, enjoys building hardware and writing the code that runs it.
