Our Team
We are a diverse team of people from all over the world. You might know us for our Open Source EDA projects. At YosysHQ we come together to improve the Open Source EDA ecosystem, and provide commercial products and services to professional users of our projects.
If you’re interested in joining a friendly, independent and remote team, please get in contact.
N. Engelhardt (they/them), CEO
N. is responsible for managing the business side of things while also being involved heavily in the technical side of the business. (With a background in FPGA-based graph processing they are used to dealing with interconnected systems that that have a lot of things going on simultaneously.)
In their spare time they manage the twitter account of their two cats, and galvanize their co-workers by seamlessly switching between 4 languages.
