Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXu Wang is a Software Engineering Director based in Vancouver with a decade of experience delivering tools that enable photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design and commercialization. He blends deep technical expertise in silicon photonics, semiconductor lasers, multiphysics simulation and compact modeling with practical EPDA integrations and PDK development for leading foundries. At Cadence and previously at Ansys and Lumerical he built and led teams that launched industry-first products (CML Compiler, Photonic Verilog-A) and secured ecosystem partnerships with major EDA firms and foundries. He combines research rigor from a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering with product and strategy skills honed through company-wide OKRs and management training. Not obvious from the title: he has a track record of turning academic photonics concepts into production-ready design flows and won TSMC’s Partner of the Year for a joint Si photonics reference flow. Pragmatic, ecosystem-minded and product-focused, he excels at bridging R&D, customers, and manufacturing partners to bring PIC solutions to market.
