Bob Wittosch

Bob Wittosch has over 30 years of experience in hardware and software engineering. Bob began their career in 1988 as a hardware designer and software engineer as a contractor. In 1991, they worked as a senior design engineer at SMC, where they developed Token-Ring NICs, passive and active MAUs, and a 100Mbps Ethernet Switch Module. That same year, they became a system engineer, hardware development manager, and architect at Telentex, Inc, where they designed a next-generation, Ethernet-based, multi-thousand port, multi-chassis/rack Digital Trading Turret. In 1995, they co-founded NetVision Inc. and served as a manager, architect, RTL designer, and product developer for 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Stackable Switch/Router ASICs, which was later acquired by Network Peripherals, Inc. In 2001, they became the director of ASIC engineering and designer at iVivity, Inc, where they designed ASICs and IP for PCIe switches/Ethernet-gateways and InfiniBand-HCAs/Ethernet-SmartNICs. In 2007, they became the senior manager for the Atlanta ASIC development group at Oracle, where they managed a team of RTL Designers, Verification Engineers, and Embedded/Application Software Developers. In 2017, they became the director of engineering at HellaStorm, Inc., where they led a team of engineers and personally designed several System Verilog RTL modules targeting Xilinx and Altera/Intel FPGA platforms. That same year, they also worked as a manager/co-founder at a Stealth Startup. In 2020, they became the lead hardware designer at Muunqi Inc., where they wrote Munnqi's detailed design specifications and coded the initial SystemVerilog RTL modules. Currently, they are an ASIC Design Engineer and Switch ASIC Lead at Cornelis Networks, where they are responsible for designing ASICs for the highest-performance, lowest-latency, and most scalable HPC networks in the industry.

Bob Wittosch obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University between 1977 and 1981.
