Saptarshi Mitra is an ASIC and embedded AI engineer with 11 years of experience bridging deep learning research and production-focused silicon and edge implementations. Currently a PhD researcher at UC Irvine and an ASIC Intern on Meta Reality Labs’ on-device Contextual-AI team, he focuses on custom silicon for next-generation XR devices and efficient inference on microcontrollers. His background spans R&D roles at Deeplite (now part of STMicroelectronics) accelerating inference across MCUs and general-purpose hardware, earlier verification and IP work at Intel, and full-stack development at Verizon. Trained in communications engineering at TUM and electrical engineering at NIT Durgapur, he blends rigorous academic research with hands-on system integration across hardware, firmware, and ML stacks. A practical problem-solver, he has moved from embedded systems and radar internships to end-to-end silicon and edge-AI pipelines, reflecting a rare combination of low-level verification, model optimization, and product-minded delivery.
