Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJordan Penard is a Staff Design Engineer based in London with 10 years' experience designing and validating complex SoCs and IP for AI accelerators and advanced-node silicon. He has led DFT architecture and implementation for large SoCs (16nm/28nm), built RTL/IP, developed FPGA validation platforms, and created automation and web-based tools (Python/Django, PHP/MySQL) to streamline verification, physical design monitoring, and RAM macro generation. Comfortable across the RTL-to-silicon flow, Jordan blends hands-on ATPG/DFT expertise with scripting, synthesis/TCL flow development, and occasional DevOps to keep CI/CD and validation pipelines running. He pairs methodical engineering leadership—managing multi-engineer teams and ATE bring-up—with a tinkerer’s curiosity evident in personal projects spanning electronics, 3D printing and photography. Notably, he has applied IEEE 1687/IJTAG and hierarchical MBIST strategies to enable scalable test insertion and pattern retargeting on very large designs.
