Summary
Omar Burkan is a lead software engineer based in the Jerusalem District with 8 years of experience building system-level, high-performance verification and simulation tools. He currently leads development of Cadence’s system VIP and SVD products, delivering data and cache-coherency checkers and automated scoreboards that support both simulation and emulation flows. Previously at Western Digital he developed C++ device simulators for UFS3.0/4.0 to enable firmware teams to reproduce and debug storage behavior without hardware. Omar blends deep systems and verification expertise with cross-functional collaboration across architecture, firmware, and software teams, and he has a practical focus on making complex hardware-software interactions observable and testable. While his public GitHub footprint is minimal, his track record shows strong production impact in proprietary verification tooling for large-scale hardware projects.
