Wearing Flip-Flops

In the world of semiconductor engineering, the path from architecture to silicon is rarely a straight line. Wearing Flip-Flops is a podcast dedicated to the people that love hardware, engineers, architects, and leaders navigating the challenges of modern SOC (System-on-Chip) verification.

Hosted by industry veterans Ronen Laviv and Yaron Ilani, the show strips away the corporate jargon to have honest, high-level technical conversations about EDA tools, simulation platforms, and the verification bottlenecks that keep R&D teams up at night. Whether we’re discussing the latest in hardware-assisted verification or the unique culture of lean startup teams, we keep it grounded, insightful, and—true to our name—completely informal.

If you’re looking for a technical deep dive without the stiff suit-and-tie atmosphere, grab your flip-flops and join us.
