@ananyabhat
Embedded systems engineer specializing in firmware, FPGA, and SoC performance optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am an embedded systems engineer focused on firmware and hardware co-design, with hands-on experience across ARM and Qualcomm SoCs, FPGA development, and microcontroller-based systems. I deliver measurable performance improvements through low-level optimization and robust embedded software engineering.
My internships at Siemens Advanta and Nokia Bell Labs centered on benchmarking HMI runtime software on multi-core SoCs, deploying containerized solutions, and automating complex data-to-CLI pipelines — producing latency reductions, dramatic time savings, and increased throughput. I also contributed to sensor R&D at CeNSE, IISc, combining experimental characterization with rigorous lab instrumentation.
I have designed interrupt-driven microcontroller applications, implemented near-memory computing on FPGA with significant power and thermal gains (published in IEEE ICNEWS), and am skilled with tools like Vivado, Cadence, Docker, and embedded debuggers. I seek roles where I can continue to optimize embedded systems and drive product-grade hardware/firmware integration.
