Rodrigo Jaramillo-Ramírez received the B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering from the Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes, Mexico and the M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, ON, Canada.

With over 18 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, he is the Co-Founder and CEO of Circuify Semiconductors, an engineering design solutions startup based in Guadalajara, Mexico. Circuify provides ASIC, SoC, and Chiplet design services for the North American semiconductor industry, with experience covering the full design flow from architecture to tape-out in advanced silicon nodes down to sub-5nm and “More than Moore” technologies such as chiplets, 2.5/3D integration, and advanced packaging. Prior to founding Circuify, he was a Senior ASIC Design Engineer at AMD, where he worked on power consumption analysis for commercial microprocessors. Before that, he was an ASIC R&D Engineer with Intel Labs, developing experimental chips in pioneering silicon technologies with a focus on ultra-low power design and PVT variation challenges. He began his career at Intel as a Physical Design Engineer, where he led a design group for memory implementations in the server processor family.

He is an active promoter of microelectronics education and the development of the semiconductor industry in Mexico, leading initiatives with industry chambers, government, and academia. He has taken part in designing ASIC graduate program curriculums at the country’s leading universities and collaborates with R&D centers and academic institutions nationwide.
