FPGA Design & RTL Development
Expertise in FPGA design and RTL coding using VHDL and Verilog, including timing closure, IP block integration, and hardware-in-the-loop simulation. Design and verification of complex FPGA/SoC subsystems on platforms such as AMD Xilinx and Intel Altera for real-time data processing workflows.
Embedded Linux & OS Customization
Deep knowledge of Embedded Linux architecture, including custom kernel driver development, Yocto Project-based distribution builds, RTOS integration, and hardware abstraction layers. Development of secure, custom Linux platforms from the kernel up with OTA update capabilities.
Hardware Design & PCB Oversight
Proficiency in schematic capture, multi-layer high-speed PCB layout oversight, signal integrity analysis, and components sourcing. Collaboration with layout engineers to ensure EMI/EMC compliance on high-speed digital boards.
Firmware & Application Development in C/C++
Programming of firmware and application layers in C and C++ for microcontrollers and embedded microprocessors, covering low-level driver development and system-level software integration.
Python Scripting & Test Automation
Building and maintaining remote hardware debugging setups and automated software test benches using Python scripts for embedded system validation.
SoC Architecture & Hardware/Software Co-Design
Design of complex system-on-chip architectures for industrial automation, IoT, and high-speed processing applications, managing full product lifecycles from RTL simulation to manufacturing execution.
EMS Vendor Management & Prototyping
Partnering with Electronic Manufacturing Services vendors to manage low-volume prototyping and ensure high-yield production quality for embedded hardware products.
Tools & Languages: Vivado, Petalinux, Quartus, Bash, Git
Hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA and development tools including Vivado, Petalinux, Quartus, Bash scripting, and Git version control for end-to-end embedded system development.
