Senior🎓
Top SchoolGlen Akins is a Principal Member of Technical Staff with over two decades of hands-on experience designing ASICs, SoCs, and FPGA systems for networking, automotive radar test, and digital cable markets. He combines deep RTL expertise (Verilog/SystemVerilog), backend ASIC flow skills, DSP algorithm implementation, and FPGA timing closure to take complex modules from architecture through verification and silicon or FPGA bring-up. Notable wins include a mixed-signal DRFM radar-emulation ASIC with >5 GHz bandwidth, FPGA emulation of an ARM complex for Cisco switch ASICs, and a content-protection system that still secures a large portion of the North American cable market. Glen also blends technical leadership with civic impact, having led a successful Fort Collins ballot campaign to fund a municipal fiber ISP and prototyped distributed Wi‑Fi baseband architectures. Practical, detail-oriented, and versed in both high-speed RF DSP and system-level integration, he thrives on turning ambitious hardware ideas into production realities.
