Tim Robins – COO, Founder
Tim Robins, co-founder of Perceptia Devices, has over twenty years of experience in silicon and product engineering. He graduated with BE in Computer Engineering from the University of London (Queen Mary College), England. In the course of his degree studies he worked at Marconi Electronic Device Limited (MEDL), working on microprocessor designs in silicon-on-sapphire technology for military and space applications.
At Marconi and subsequently GEC Plessey Semiconductors he became a key member of the networking group and designed the original PCS layer for its 10/100 Fast Ethernet PHY.
He subsequently moved to the US in 1998 to work in Silicon Valley and in 2000 joined gigabit-Ethernet PHY fabless semiconductor company Hiband Semiconductors as Director of Engineering. At HiBand, he led the engineering team. As a direct result of that team’s successful design activities, Cypress Semiconductor acquired Hiband for US$28M in 2001. Tim left Cypress in 2005 to join Perceptia full time as its COO/VP Engineering and continue to lead its engineering and design teams.
