Franck Caron
Senior Design Automation Engineer, infineon
Design Automation engineer, I worked in design flow development, design methodology, EDA tool development and digital design .
Because I worked for an EDA company (cadence) as a developer of EDA tools and for a founder (infineon & soon Intel) as a CAD engineer, I have a good overview of the EDA industry in the both side of the mirror.
My software development background and design flow engineering background is a key strength for me.
This give me the opportunity to analyze and understand problems from a different perspective to find alternative solutions or compromise.
