Neil Unger Email & Phone Number

- Developed FPGA-based DDR SDRAM diagnostic tools using VHDL, and guided corresponding Python design, resulting in valuable recovery of malfunctioning network product inventory- Led implementation of PON, I2C, and SFP FPGAs in a 1G/10G combo-PON product- Drove effort to convert legacy FPGA project RTL and their corresponding TCL, Python, and C shell scripts to Git- Maintained and developed features for on-product Python scripts to assist in FPGA field debugging- Diagnosed product failures from FPGA field logs and debugging live customer systems- Mentored four undergraduate interns/co-ops in RTL design and FPGA workflows

- Implemented Soft Error Mitigation in over a dozen FPGA designs, resolving multiple customer field failures per month- Created Soft Error Mitigation compatibility wrapper and defined registers to ensure compatibility with software drivers- Developed self-checking, remote-capable Python scripts for testing Soft Error Mitigation FPGA implementation- Documented and advised software teams on Soft Error Mitigation implementation and detection procedures- Created FPGA chip packaging comparison tests to assist with future equipment design decisions

- Designed features and fixes for networking equipment firmware in C++ and C, with automated Python testing

- Developed network switching features and fixes for networking equipment FPGAs in VHDL- Tested these features with VHDL testbenches and Python scripts

- Designed and executed tests to identify software bugs for ADTRAN routers, access points, and vWLAN servers
