Silvester M.

As a Senior Electronics Design Engineer, I deliver high-speed, multi-layer PCBs and FPGA-based embedded hardware engineered for scalable manufacturing. From KiCad/Altium schematic capture and 3D ECAD integration to board bring-up, I turn complex hardware architecture into production-ready physical prototypes. Engineering Capabilities: • Schematic Capture & Hardware Architecture: Full schematic capture, low-noise analog/digital front-ends, Power Delivery Networks, and component lifecycle vetting for BOM availability. • High-Speed Interfaces: Design and layout execution for PCIe, DDR, USB 3.0, GigE, and XAUI protocols. • PCB Design & Layout: Multi-layer, High-Density Interconnect routing, controlled impedance, and strict Signal/Power Integrity optimization. • DFM / DFA & Manufacturing Packages: Complete production handoff including Gerber, NC drill, ODB++, Pick-and-Place, and IPC-compliant fab documentation for immediate assembly. • FPGA SoC Development: RTL design, simulation, synthesis, placement, and timing closure using Vivado Design Suite. Specialized in AMD SoC hardware-software co-design and high-speed transceivers. • Bring-Up & Prototype Validation: Hands-on hardware bring-up, bare-metal testing, peripheral validation, and early-stage debugging to achieve functional hardware. Toolstack: • ECAD & PCB Design: Altium Designer, KiCad. • Rendering: Blender. • FPGA Development & Logic Synthesis: AMD Vivado Design Suite. • Simulation & Circuit Analysis: LTspice, Simbeor.
