Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChia-kai Yang is a Principal Application Engineer based in Munich with a unique bridge between semiconductor hardware design and human-technology interaction, backed by two engineering master's degrees and ongoing PhD work in informatics. With roughly eight years in applied roles at Synopsys plus earlier hands-on ASIC, DFT, and digital design experience at NVIDIA, Faraday, and ELAN, he excels at turning low-level hardware data into actionable insights and tooling. His research on eye-tracking and visual analytics has produced novel methods for extracting patterns from noisy spatio-temporal data, informing both UX research and technical product support. Comfortable both in silicon bring-up and in crafting visualizations that reveal human reading strategies, he thrives where engineers meet users and complex data must be made interpretable. An unusual strength is his fluency in test automation and visualization—enabling him to improve test flows while also designing interfaces that surface subtle user and device behaviors.
