Work Experience
Model Based Design Engineer
Schneider Electric Solar | Jul 2016 - Jan 2019
VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language)
MATLAB
FPGA
Simulink
Refined power controls for utility-scale solar power inverter, using model-based design software. Implemented control algorithms on FPGA with VHDL code. Resolved firmware issues from test lab and field.
- Generated code from MatLab / Simulink designs, simplifying design process and reducing product time-to-market.
- Integrated generated VHDL code with hand code into FPGA project, implementing design on real hardware.
- Maintained, improved, and debugged VHDL code, adding robustness to product features.
- Streamlined automated FPGA build process (compile, simulation, build, test, release), reducing build time by 50% and enabling unified integrated system testbench.
- Created and modified VHDL and Simulink testbenches, verifying functional changes in simulation.
- Tested new features and releases on HIL platform, boosting confidence in hardware performance.
- Planned, executed, and reviewed sprints, as Scrum Master for Agile development team, empowering team to deliver requirements on time.
