ASIC Verification Engineer May 2014-Sep 2014

SOC ASIC Verification Services LLC, Lockeford, California

• Worked as an ASIC Verification Engineer, in Smart Grid project. The Smart Grid project is SOC IC, that goes into Smart Grid meters which is the backbone of the smart grid controller. My responsibility was running all test cases using cadence Incisive Comprehensive Coverage (ICC) and Incisive Metric Center (IMC), and making sure the coverage such as toggle coverage is 100%.

• Used the coverage report and analyzed why the coverage is low and identified the area was not covered and needs to be covered and report the uncovered area to the design engineers for modifying the test cases or create new test cases.

Teacher Assistant-Mathematics Department Fall 2011-Fall 2012 Amirkabir University of Technology

• Conducted Office hours to provide one-on-one assistance to students enrolled in Math, Calculus, Geometry and Algebra.

• Worked with professors to grade tests and assignments.

• Organized “Electronics Week”, working alongside 15 other students to plan lectures, a robotics competition, and various events centered on new technology in the field of electrical engineering. Teacher Assistant-Electrical Engineering Department August 2013-May 2015 State University of New York

• Providing one-on-one assistance to students enrolled in Semiconductor Reliability, Electronics 1, Computer Architecture and Engineering Statistics.
