FPGA Developer Engineer
I work for Lombiq from home office. I am responsible for the whole FPGA firmware
development process for a Nexys4 DDR development board.
Project(s): Hastlayer project
The Hastlayer project aims to give a tool to software developers familiar with the .NET
platform to automatically transform performance-critical parts of their programs into
seamlessly usable FPGA-implemented hardware, yielding faster program execution and
lower power consumption.
PERMANENT JOBS
January 2015 – Present: Knorr- Bremse Ltd., Budapest, Hungary
FPGA Developer Engineer, Advanced Engineering Group.
I joined to Knorr- Bremse Ltd. to experience working by a big multi-national company, and to
participate in an exciting ADAS project.
Project(s): ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) project
Commercial vehicle's rear view mirror replacement and various other functions to
visualize on display, with FPGA controlled camera system.
September 2014 – December 2015: BHE Bonn Electronics Ltd., Budapest, Hungary
FPGA Developer Engineer, UAV Group.
I started to work at BHE Bonn in autumn 2014 to design Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA firmware for an
UAV project. The company profile is RF and Microwave systems and solutions.
Project(s): UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) project

April 2010 – April 2012: Pro Patria Electronics Ltd., Budapest, Hungary
FPGA and DSP developer engineer, DSP Development Group
After university I joined PPE as a junior developer engineer. The company profile is military
ground surveillance radar development and production. During the first year I was a DSP
developer engineer. I was responsible to maintain the old DSP codes written in assembly, and
also to write new codes in C language for Analog Devices TS201 (TigerSharC) DSP
processors. I also had to write test programs, and to test implemented DSP algorithms in
Matlab. In the second year I was an FPGA developer engineer. I had to make digital designs
for Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA. I wrote the IP cores in Xilinx ISE using VHDL, and also tested
them in ISim and in ModelSim. I also had to make all the documentations of the
developments and tests I made.
Project(s): Development for DSP and FPGA processors:
Development of radar algorithms for DSP processors like CA-CFAR, CAGO-CFAR,
TM-CFAR in C language, and simulation in Matlab.
Maintenance of assembly codes for DSP processors like FFT.
FPGA-side interface development and test for Cypress USB chip, microwave unit,
antenna rotary unit, and other peripherals.
Other responsibilities:
Writing military standard (AQAP, MIL-STD) technical documentations like hardware
design specifications, test plans, test reports.
Radar field tests.
December 2008 – June 2009: University of Pannonia, Veszprém, Hungary
