• Successfully developed and launched DDR3 IP product based on UltraScale Kintex for HAPS-80 platform targeted for Deep Trace Debug feature. Implemented DDR3 IP with the flexibility of six combinations of connector locations. HAPS-80 systems are expected to be the best selling company hardware for 2016.• Improved Protocompiler product quality by providing test case to development team to locate software anomalies responsible for crashes. • Designed validation and test IP for HapsTrak3 GPIO boards. Wrote Tcl test scripts for QSFP and Riser8 cards. Created test plan for GPIO, QSFP, and Riser8 cards. Tested and delivered more than 1000 HT3 GPIO boards, and QSFP and Riser8 cards in the lab. • Trained test engineer. Transferred knowledge to manufacture engineer. Prepared test station and created TCL-TOP scripts in Synplex environment for test automation.• Provided technical support to CAEs to respond to customer needs. Reported errors in the technical papers and provided feedback to both the documentation and marketing teams. • Created file list using QBAR for Project Elessar, synthesized Rumi-III using Synplify Pro, placed and routed using Vivado. Performed System validation, debug and troubleshooting, including hands-on debugging in the lab. Worked with hardware models and partial designs in rapid states of change. Used diagnostic equipment such as JTAG, logic analyzer, and scopes and software including Verilog, C, C++, PERL, and Verilog/VHDL. Debugged ARM processor and DDR and DSP design modules, and ran regression tests in lab environment.
