Work experience
FPGA Hardware Engineer
Intel • Full-time
Jun 2021 - Jun 2026 • 5 yrs
In Intel/Altera, I have worked on the development and post-silicon validation of high-speed FPGA and ASIC IPs, including PCIe Switch, MACsec, Serial Lite, PCIe Gen6, and Cryptographic Accelerator IPs. My experience includes RTL design, architecture definition, SystemVerilog implementation, and Validation Soft IP (VSIP) development. I have developed configurable Ethernet and PCIe traffic generators/checkers, performed hardware bring-up, protocol debugging, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to resolve complex design issues. I also created validation frameworks, customer example designs, and protocol-level test content for PCIe and cryptographic IPs.
