Project history
Pre-silicon low-level driver and software library development in C/C++ on Linux for the next-generation Maverick HPC PCIe accelerator chip ahead of tape-out. Register-level configuration and hardware control routines. High-throughput data read/write bus interaction from the PCIe device side. System validation and register-level debug within ZeBu hardware emulation environments. Integration of AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) into daily workflow. Collaboration with hardware and software cross-functional teams on pre-silicon bring-up readiness.
Worked as a Software Contractor for SiMa.ai through outsourcing company Syrmia d.o.o. (later acquired by HTEC). Run-time software development in C/C++, code optimizations, debug, extracting and examining hardware emulator wave captures for chip-level issues debug. Fully automated regression test framework development in Python for CI/CD integration. End-to-end pipeline testing. Yocto distribution modifications to support new features. Linux kernel configuration and kernel driver changes. Collaboration with QA team on trace and debug issues. Utilized Jira and other Atlassian tools in an agile environment.
Development of custom Linux Yocto image and embedded software for Aarch64 based device platform. Hardware debug tasks.
