Summary
Yimajian Yan is a Principal Signal and Power Integrity Engineer with nine years of experience designing power delivery and SI/PI solutions for cutting-edge ICs and systems, currently leading Arm’s vertical-integrated high-definition voltage regulator and power delivery efforts. He combines deep academic training (Ph.D. from Purdue) with hands-on hardware design at Google and Arm, delivering PDN models, TLVR architectures, and unified converter models that bridge transient and steady-state behaviors. Known for integrating package, board and multi-physics considerations, he excels at cross-domain co-validation with thermal and power teams to turn complex constraints into manufacturable designs. Based in Fremont, CA, he brings both research rigor and practical innovation—his early work unified CCM and DCM converter behaviors into a single state-space model, a detail that reflects his knack for elegant, broadly applicable engineering solutions.
