Summary
Idir Zerrouk is an analog verification engineer and competitive footballer with eight years of experience blending technical rigor and team leadership. He holds a high-distinction Computer Systems Engineering degree from Carleton University and has driven verification, CI/CD automation, and mixed-signal testbench work at Ciena, building Python tools and Jenkins-based workflows that streamlined simulation and regression. Parallel to his engineering career, he’s in his third season playing in Germany’s Mittelrheinliga and previously represented Canada at the U-15 level and played U Sports soccer, experiences that sharpen his decision-making under pressure. Equally comfortable debugging complex ASIC simulations as coordinating on the pitch, he seeks roles and trials where he can keep improving, competing, and contributing to team success. An underrated asset: his academic project work produced a usable GUI for formal cybersecurity specifications, showing he turns research concepts into practical tools.
