Rachel Nancollas is a software engineer with nine years of experience specializing in build and test systems for RTL designers and hardware tooling. She has held progressive hardware and infrastructure roles at Google—rising to Staff Software/Hardware Engineer—before moving to Rivos and now Meta, bringing deep cross-disciplinary expertise in silicon bring-up, automation, and test infrastructure. Her academic background in integrated circuit design from UC Berkeley and an ECE BS from Olin grounds her practical engineering in rigorous analog and digital design principles. Rachel’s work uniquely blends low-level hardware design (including x86 Chromebook development) with scalable software tooling to accelerate verification and manufacturing flows. Colleagues know her for translating complex RTL and board-level requirements into reliable, automated pipelines that reduce iteration time. Based in Washington, D.C., she combines research-driven problem solving with large-scale production experience across top-tier tech companies.
