I had worked as a Senior Embedded Software Engineer. I had working on DSP Processors, ARM processors, C/C++, Matlab and performed following tasks

• Writing drivers for ARM processors to connect HID devices like Barcode scanner using USB port.
• Defining EP sheets/Test cases for ARM Processor and DSP processor firmware and developing test cases.
• Executing Test cases using automated testing environment (CruiseControl).
• Working on image processing algorithms on DSP processors.

NUST SEECS Pakistan                                                                                     Oct 2009 to Dec 2011

Worked as a Team Lead Design Engineer, worked on FPGAs, PowerPC, ARM processor, VHDL, VERILOG HDL, MATLAB, SystemC and C/C++. I am working on following projects.

Projects:

• Development of USB3.0 IP Core

Remained involve throughout the project, from writing architectural specs to the hardware testing of the project. Significant tasks include following things

• Writing architectural specs of the Protocol layer, XHCI module, Data Handler, AMBA AHB interfacing modules etc.
• Writing Verilog RTL code
• Developing Linux C shell based automated verification environment
• Verification of Verilog RTL
• Writing C code for ARM processor and interfacing ARM processor with FPGA.
• Writing C code for PowerPC and interfacing it with FPGA.
• FPGA verification of the RTL code
• FPGA Based Random Number Generator

Studied different random number generation techniques and implemented a true random number generator on FPGA using VHDL.
