Summary
Steven Yang is a seasoned ASIC Design Engineer with 25+ years driving complex ASIC and SoC projects across networking, home networking, and data-center Smart NIC domains, now contributing at Apple. He blends deep RTL and microarchitecture expertise with hands-on synthesis, static timing closure, FPGA emulation and post-silicon validation, having closed timing at 1.4GHz for 8x50Gbps SERDES integrations. His background spans Ethernet/TCP-IP, MoCA, UWB, PCIe, Interlaken and mixed-signal integration, and he has led architecture and top-level integration from specification through silicon at Broadcom, Marvell, Cisco and others. Steven is also an inventor with more than ten patents filed/issued and a track record of translating system-level requirements into robust, low-power silicon. Based in San Jose, he combines deep lab debugging experience (logic analyzers, scopes, spectrum analyzers) with team and project leadership across both startup and hyperscaler environments. Notably, his career covers both legacy interfaces (Token Ring, ISA) and cutting-edge multi-hundred-Gbps SERDES, showing rare breadth across generations of chip design.
