Summary
Jiro Iwai is a seasoned software engineer in Japan with over 13 years in EDA/TCAD and 12 years of professional experience building simulators, analysis tools, and physical-design software for semiconductor and PCB domains. He combines deep numerical-analysis expertise—nonlinear PDE solvers, large linear systems, FEM/CVM—with hands-on development of process, device and circuit simulators, parasitic extraction, and statistical STA. Jiro has led teams and projects for more than six years, including managing a high-level synthesis compiler and defining wire architectures for FPGA-like DAPDNA devices. His background spans video and ML R&D to power-integrity and H.265 encoder work, showing a rare ability to move between low-level numerical engines and applied product engineering. Known for building prototype TCAD and IR-drop tools from scratch, he brings both research-grade algorithmic depth and practical delivery experience to semiconductor software challenges.
