Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHorace Chan is a Principal Member of Technical Staff with 11 years of focused experience in pre-silicon verification and system bring-up, currently optimizing PCIe verification at AMD. He has a proven track record reducing regression resource use (50% disk, 20% CPU) and building AI-driven verification agents and hybrid C++/UVM testbenches. Previously he led emulation and software/firmware co-verification efforts at Microchip, bringing up embedded Linux and FreeRTOS on ARM SoCs and diagnosing deep silicon-software integration bugs. Earlier leadership at PMC-Sierra included managing 20+ engineers and architecting a UVM framework used by 100+ engineers for a 200M-gate ASIC. Based in Shenzhen with Canadian ties, he pairs deep hardware-software debug expertise with process and tooling improvements that accelerate time-to-silicon. An often-overlooked strength is his interdisciplinary background—MEng in Computer Engineering plus post-baccalaureate philosophy—that informs pragmatic, systems-level problem solving.
