Ted Lekan

Ted Lekan has a diverse and extensive work experience in the field of digital IC design and engineering. Ted is currently working at X Display Company (XDC) as a Digital IC Design Engineer since September 2022. Prior to that, they worked at Battelle as an Integrated Circuit Design Engineer from October 2021 to September 2022. In this role, they designed a Truly Random Number Generator and integrated DSP modules for a microelectronics assurance test chip. Ted also analyzed files from Process Development Kits (PDKs) for vulnerability to tampering and conducted digital simulations.

Before joining Battelle, Ted worked at Digital Design Corporation as an FPGA Design Engineer from March 2021 to September 2021. In this role, they used Xilinx Vivado to upgrade block memory, FIFOs, and arithmetic logic from older FPGA technology to UltraScale+ IP. Ted also evaluated UltraScale+ video processor IPs.

From 2007 to 2020, Ted worked at Texas Instruments as a Design Engineer. Ted designed and verified digital circuits for mixed-signal automotive and industrial ICs using Verilog and VHDL. Ted collaborated directly with customers to refine ASIC requirements and conducted design reviews. Some of the ICs they worked on included automobile gyroscope/accelerometer, pressure/temperature sensor, motor position sensor, ultrasonic echo detector, and Hall sensors.

Ted also has past experience working in other companies such as Caledonian School as an English as a Second Language Teacher, Freescale Semiconductor as a Design Engineer, AppliedMicro as a Digital Design and Verification Engineer, and Motorola as a Design Engineer. In these roles, they worked on various digital circuit designs and verifications for different applications such as USB power management IC, automobile airbag deployment systems, printer control modules, power control circuits, Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) control chip, and automotive systems.

Overall, Ted Lekan has a strong background in digital IC design and engineering, with experience across multiple industries and applications. Their expertise includes circuit design, verification, simulation, and collaboration with customers.

Ted Lekan holds a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. In addition to their degree, they have obtained certifications in "Simulink for Automotive System Design" from MathWorks in May 2017, "Designing FPGAs Using the Vivado Design Suite 1" from Xilinx, and "Standard First Aid, CPR and AED" from the American Red Cross. No specific information on the start and end years of their education or the completion of their additional certifications is provided.
