Ruben is highly talented & expert in his domain of work; ASIC physical design. I helped him landed a Job at Meta, but it was all his skills expertise that he just cleared it in one go. He is highly experienced with ASIC physical design & holds intense knowledge and detailed history on physical design aspects. He is expert on using ICC and ICC2. I highly recommend Ruben for any ASIC physical design engineering work.

Ruben has worked on the MSIP products for Synopsys. Inc and although Ruben came on board after the project had already started, he quickly picked up the flows, understood the design requirements and contributed at a very high level. Ruben even suggested few enhancements that would help team members in their work. Ruben was diligent with his work and always asked the right questions. I enjoyed working with Ruben and would recommend him as a strong Physical design engineer
