Akshay Ayilliath

A compassionate leader deeply attuned to people's needs, boasting strong communication prowess and adept stakeholder management honed over a decade in industry.

My journey spans immersive roles in software integration (2 years in Embedded C), hardware functional testing (2 years), and ASIC verification (4 years post-silicon, 2 years pre-silicon). These diverse experiences have fortified me for positions as a Technical Lead or Engineering Manager.

Having dedicated 8+ years to Tier-1 Automotive suppliers, my forte lies in grasping the broader landscape and meticulously tackling challenges with an eye for detail.
