Summary
Hsiang Yang is a Senior R&D Engineer with nine years of experience building and modernizing GUIs for EDA tools at Synopsys, where he led the migration of a legacy Motif-based framework to Qt4 and its subsequent upgrade to Qt5. He redesigned Verdi’s UI/UX architecture, introduced a dynamic theme engine via low-level Qt reverse engineering, and embedded Python scripting to replace TCL workflows for advanced debug automation. He also pioneered integrating LLMs into Verdi, creating an AI-driven agentic layer that enables natural-language debugging and lowers the onboarding curve for new users. With a strong academic foundation (MS, Computer Science, National Chiao Tung University) and hands-on background in data collection, NLP, and speech research from NCAR/High-Performance Computing projects, he blends systems-level engineering with applied AI. Comfortable collaborating across 10+ application teams, he’s equally at home in C++/Qt internals and prototyping data-driven tools using Python and ML libraries.
