About

Hi, I'm Yoav!

If you're a student, career changer, or junior hardware engineer looking to break into the semiconductor industry, I'm here to help.

I'm a CPU Formal Verification Engineer at Intel, previously a Design Verification Engineer at Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Before engineering, I spent nearly a decade as an IDF officer, then made a complete career transition into hardware.

I started by helping friends with resumes, interview preparation, and career planning. As more engineers reached out through LinkedIn, I realized how valuable practical, personalized guidance could be. That's what inspired me to start mentoring more broadly.

Outside of work, I run the @2ChipDesign YouTube channel and teach highly rated Udemy courses on digital design and SystemVerilog. My Master HDL Design with SystemVerilog course is also available through Udemy Business.

Depending on your goals, I can help you:

• Create a personalized learning roadmap based on your goals
• Review and improve your resume and LinkedIn profile
• Prepare for technical interviews and conduct mock interviews (Digital Design & Verification)
• Bridge the gap between university projects and industry expectations

My goal is simple: to help you shorten the learning curve, avoid common mistakes, and grow with confidence.

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

As a computer engineering student, I came to Yoav lacking confidence in my fundamentals and feeling unsure about my future in hardware. His mentorship has helped me build confidence and find a clearer sense of direction. What I value most is learning one-on-one, at my own pace, from someone with both industry and teaching experience. His SystemVerilog course and personalized guidance go beyond the basics: he helps me narrow down career options, understand what employers look for, and develop the technical skills relevant to the roles I’m exploring. I especially appreciate the practical tasks he gives between sessions, such as practicing how to approach professionals and ask for referrals. He doesn’t just give advice, he helps me put it into practice. These tasks are teaching me how to research opportunities, make informed decisions, and reach out for support independently. For me, this combination of technical learning, practical career guidance, and encouragement has been well worth the investment. I would highly recommend Yoav to students getting started in hardware, especially those who feel overwhelmed or uncertain about their career direction.
