Decades of chip design leadership,
turned into tools for the next generation of chip teams.

Dr. James Yang is a chip design expert with experience across networking, communications, and image-processing silicon. After graduating from National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu and the University of Southern California, he earned his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at New York University, where he worked on ultra-high-performance network routers and network security chips.

Before founding his own company, Dr. Yang served as a senior R&D leader at multiple chip design companies in Silicon Valley and Taiwan's Hsinchu Science Park. The teams he led delivered a number of significant products, including one of the industry's earliest network security chips.

He went on to found MicroIP Inc., where he launched an IP marketplace and a cloud-based collaborative chip design platform in 2015.

AQLS is the next chapter: an EDA company where chip-design veterans lead the architecture and a dedicated software team builds the tools, dedicated to turning decades of SoC design experience into tools other IC design teams can rely on — starting with iPROfiler, Architecture Compiler, and ETAL.
