Summary
Yilei Li is a silicon systems engineer with over a decade of experience and more than 10 successful tapeouts spanning RF, mixed-signal, and digital domains. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from Fudan University and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from UCLA, blending deep academic rigor with practical silicon delivery. For the past several years he has focused on designing silicon accelerators for artificial intelligence, translating algorithmic needs into high-performance hardware. Yilei’s background in diverse analog and digital integration gives him a rare ability to optimize across corners that many accelerator teams overlook. Based in San Jose, he combines hands-on RTL/physical design experience with system-level thinking to accelerate product cycles. Colleagues know him for shipping production silicon reliably while navigating the messy trade-offs between performance, power, and manufacturability.
