Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRocco Perciavalle is a Master's student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UT Austin with nine years of hands-on experience in embedded systems and ASIC design, currently focused on ASIC Physical Design. He led a full Netlist-to-GDSII tapeout on TSMC 65 nm—owning floorplanning, clock tree synthesis, and timing closure to achieve 250 MHz sign-off using Cadence and Synopsys flows. As Head Teaching Assistant for the Embedded Systems Laboratory he mentors students on hardware interfacing and embedded software and has reviewed over 80 PCBs for manufacturability, signal integrity, and power delivery. His industry experience includes porting performance-critical Python drivers to C for flight-grade communication modules and hardening failover paths for redundant NOR flash at CesiumAstro. Comfortable bridging RTL and physical silicon, he pairs practical board-level insight with EDA tool expertise and is actively seeking roles in ASIC physical design. An understated strength is his repeated role translating academic projects into production-ready hardware through rigorous manufacturability and SI reviews.
