Independent, vertically integrated mind with 25 years of industry experience. From circuits to architectures, from algorithms to applications. Projects dealing with embedded Software and Hardware, Security. Expert in FPGA design in the major ecosystems, Xilinx preferred. Special interest and knowledge in large-scale multi-FPGA numerical computing for HPC simulations.
The subject matter are fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) and inertial measurement units (IMUs) for civil and military use. Theses devices measure angular velocity and linear acceleration with very high precision and are essential everywhere exact navigation is needed, in planes, ships, submarines, military devices. The mission is to lay out a future proof strategy for new products. Legacy products are based on custom ASIC or FPGA and off-the-shelf MCU which are all reaching end-of-life. The plan is to deploy a more modern FPGA and integrate the discrete MCU into the FPGA to enable migration of legacy RTL design and firmware.
Simulation Hardware Acceleration with Domain Specific Architectures on FPGA Clusters.
Supporting with various aspects of the FPGA design in a custom client hardware which relays the image data stream of industrial line cameras mounted in banknote printers operating according to CoaXPress standard to ethernet. Migrating the CXP hardware core to new version and porting the NIOS-2 firmware. Working with Intel/Altera Arria10 FPGA and high-speed serial transceivers with Quartus Prime Pro.
Reviewing the Microchip FPGA design of a Fuel Quantity Indicator (FQI) system for the Eurodrone project. In order to modernize the existing adhoc VHDL testbench perform assessment of VHDL open source veri cation frameworks, OSVVM and UVVM. Decide to go for UVVM and migrate existing testcases to UVVM environment. Support in reviewing and drafting documentation according to DO-254 aerospace regulation framework. Supporting PCB team with library creation, schematic changes and layout design using Altium.
Selected with two partners in an international competition as one of fourteen teams for the SprinD New Computing Concepts Challenge to explore non-von Neumann approaches to energy-efficient high-performance computing. Collected 250.000 Euro dilution free funding so far. https://sprind.org/taten/challenges/newcomputing
