System Architect at Wipro - NewLogic
France
I am a hardware engineer with 10+ years experience in RTL coding, 5 years experience in Bluetooth IP/product development, and 4 years in Bluetooth system architecture specification.
For the last 5 years I’ve been working as principal design engineer, technical leader and system architect for Wipro - NewLogic, a leading semiconductor design services provider and supplier of intellectual property (IP) cores for complex wireless and wireline applications.
During this time I’ve also been a member of the Bluetooth SIG Core Specification Working Group.
I specified and designed implementation solutions for Bluetooth controller, ensured development flow process respect, worked with local and foreign business partners and customers, ensuring pre-sales activities and customer support, accommodating the necessary design changes in order the end-product to be successful.
I have an expert knowledge in digital design flow methodologies, design simulation, and full system validation. I have a proven Bluetooth system architecture expertise. I am self-motivated, and an enthusiastic person with strong communication skills. I am not afraid to make decisions and take responsibility. I like to work on complex systems, to solve problems, and I’m able to work in multitasking mode. I am always willing to learn new technologies and perform self-education every day.
