Summary
Erqi Deng is a design verification engineer and Ph.D. student with eight years of hands-on experience in hardware and embedded systems, currently interning at Cisco where they apply SystemVerilog/UVM to block-level verification and automation scripting. With a strong academic foundation from University of Washington (BE, 3.99 GPA) and ongoing MS studies in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, Erqi blends RTL verification skills with circuit-level lab experience using oscilloscopes, waveform generators, and simulation tools. They bring seven years of robotics design and programming expertise across Verilog, Python, Java, C, and C++, and have contributed to sensor development projects—such as single-walled carbon nanotube ammonia sensors and dielectric spectroscopy-based ripeness detectors—highlighting an ability to move ideas from prototype to technical reports and proposals. Fluent in Mandarin and English, Erqi also has teaching experience as a TA, demonstrating clear communication and mentorship in addition to deep technical capability.
