Butts is a lead hardware architect and joined Ambric from his position as co-founder of a programmable IC platform company. He has an extensive background in architecting large-scale re-configurable hardware. He is the co-inventor of hardware logic emulation using reconfigurable hardware, which spawned a market now valued at $100 million.

During his twenty years in the electronic design automation (EDA) industry, Butts developed several re-configurable chips and system products. His career was spent at companies that pioneered many fundamental electronics technologies, including Floating Point Systems, Mentor Graphics, Quickturn, Synopsys, and Cadence Design Systems, where he was named a Cadence Fellow. Most recently he was at Tabula.

To date, Butts holds 32 U.S. patents with additional patents pending; he also holds patents issued in Canada, Europe, and Japan. A widely published author, he has served on the Technical Program Committees of the IEEE International Symposium on Field-Configurable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM); the ACM International Symposium on FPGAs; and the International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications.

Butts holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science, both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass.
