Summary
Linzhang Chen is a Technical Consultant based in Tokyo with 12 years of experience bridging research-grade chip design and practical embedded systems engineering. He has hands-on expertise in mixed-signal simulation, vector multi-core processor design for RISC-V, SerDes/CDR testing on FPGA, and ARMv4-based embedded CPU top-level design from his projects at Waseda University and Jinan University. Linzhang has translated academic chip verification work into industry practice through internships and engineering roles at Premo and Synopsys, including FPGA-based peripheral validation for wireless inter-chip magnetic communication. Now at ACI Worldwide, he combines low-level hardware understanding with software-oriented test and verification workflows, enabling faster bring-up of complex silicon and firmware. Unusually for a consultant, he pairs deep circuit-level simulation experience (Cadence ams) with machine-code level test generation and dump-file analysis, making him effective across the hardware–software boundary. He holds a Master’s in Computer Science from Waseda and a BE in Electronic Information Engineering from Jinan University.
