Objective: Seeking an exciting Hardware Design Engineer position (RTL/FPGA/PCB/Silicon validation) in a reputed organization.
Project Experience:
• Clock Tree Synthesis:
I ran CTS under different scenarios to understand the clock tree synthesis behavior with different variables being set using buffer list and inverter list to obtain minimum skew.
• FPGA based design and Implementation of Stopwatch and digital watch: Verilog codes were written to design digital watch, stopwatch. Vivado design suite is used for synthesizing the code and the output is observed on Basys3 Artix 7 FPGA kit.
• Schematic and layout design using Orcad Capture and Allegro: A PCB design was implemented for integrated Buck Regulator.
• Measuring Transmitter performance for WCDMA using ACLR: Investigate the transmitter performance for WCDMA using the concept of ACLR. The performance was analyzed using the Matlab software.
• Serial Peripheral Interface:
Devices communicate in master/slave mode where the master device initiates the data frame. Multiple slave devices are allowed with individual slave select (chip select) lines. A Verilog code for was written to demonstrate the SPI transfer.
Extra-Curricular:
• National Medalist in Swimming.
• Part time teacher for physically and mentally challenged kids.
• Organizer for Blood donation camps.
