Summary
Ashley Poe is a Senior Staff CAD Engineer with 11 years of experience driving design automation and PDK development across the semiconductor supply chain, currently at Infineon after roles at Intel and Cypress. She combines object-oriented programming, scripting, and Unix expertise to build and qualify Place & Route collateral, physical verification rule decks, and automation that shortens tapeout cycles and regression times. Known for owning cross-functional qualification efforts, she bridges foundries, EDA vendors, and internal product teams to resolve tool and process issues from root cause to release. She has led large-scale migrations (e.g., aluminum-to-copper IP conversions), architected IP validation test suites with full-code coverage, and implemented chip integration automations that cut final GDS time to under a day. Holding a BS in Computer Engineering and pursuing an MSE in Electrical Engineering, she blends hands-on engineering with process-driven delivery in high-stakes semiconductor flows.
