Bio
Efraim Massenberg
I had the honor and pleasure to work with Elad as System Architect of a complex and challenging VLSI project where his deep and vast knowledge of protocols, methodologies, HW and SW design and verification, together with his great innovations, made this project a success. Elad is very experienced yet always eager to learn and master more, and enthusiastically share his knowledge with others. He is great in explaining, connecting and supporting all groups involved, from product to validation through SW and VLSI, to align everyone with the goal. He is very dedicated and supported his previous projects through the busy times of the new project. While setting challenging requirements and bringing up innovated solutions, Elad is a great team player and very pleasant to work with.

I had the pleasure of having Elad in my technical support team for three years. It was a time of intensive growth for the company with many challenges. Elad is an insightful, intelligent engineer with a terrific work ethic. In our time together he showed patience working with customers, a keen mind for finding the source of problems, and a great attitude that was always positive. Elad would be at the top of my list anytime I would be building a team.
