Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMars Li is a Staff Architecture Engineer in California with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience bridging software, FPGA/ASIC hardware, and data-center systems. He has driven SW-HW co-design for high-speed FPGA interfaces and implemented device models and auto-placement tooling in C++ to close timing and enable silicon features. His background includes hands-on server, NIC, storage and power-sequencing design at Cisco—where he filed a patent for a PCIe-based SSD partitioning approach—and kernel work porting OpenBSD to RISC-V including bootstraps, MMU adaptations, and interrupt handling. Mars combines low-level firmware and RTL experience with higher-level architecture and performance debugging, comfortable moving between Verilog, C/C++, and system-level testing. He’s notable for translating complex hardware constraints into software tooling and specs that accelerate silicon enablement and product readiness. Based in the Bay Area, he brings a rare blend of networking, storage, and OS-kernel expertise to datacenter-focused engineering challenges.
