Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShicong Yang is a Staff System Engineer based in Berkeley with a decade-plus background in wireless systems, specializing in MAC/PHY algorithm design, simulations, and performance analysis. At Qualcomm since 2013, he has progressed from research intern to staff engineer, leading WiFi and Bluetooth coexistence algorithm development and contributing deep expertise in 802.11 and BT SIG standards. He blends rigorous protocol knowledge with practical coding skills in C++, Python, MATLAB and scripting tools, and is comfortable across version-control systems like Git, SVN and Perforce. Known for a solution-oriented, self-motivated approach, he routinely translates complex theoretical models into performant, testable system implementations. With degrees from University of Toronto and UC Berkeley and prior hardware design experience at AMD, he brings a rare cross-layer perspective spanning silicon, firmware and system-level simulations. Colleagues describe him as quietly passionate about code—humorously signing his GitHub bio as a “little snail” who nevertheless delivers steady engineering velocity.
