What I'm looking for

I seek a senior R&D or design role in electronics/embedded systems focusing on FPGA-based design, hardware test development, and collaborative problem-solving in an innovative, technically rigorous environment that supports growth.

I am an electrical engineer with over 7 years' experience in electronics design, FPGA and embedded systems, holding an MS from NUST College of Electrical & Mechanical Engineering. I specialize in circuit design, system testing, control systems, reverse engineering and hardware testing procedures, and I write clear technical documentation while communicating with clients.

I have mapped legacy IC designs to modern FPGA/CPLD implementations, developed LabVIEW-based hardware testing procedures and used tools such as Xilinx, Lattice Diamond, 1553 Bus Analyzers, logic analyzers and oscilloscopes for debugging and commissioning. I have published research on timing synchronization for OFDM and FBMC waveforms and I bring a methodical, solution-oriented approach to R&D and complex engineering challenges.
