Summary
Borja Peñuelas is an FPGA design and verification engineer with 8 years’ experience delivering high-throughput, low-latency systems for telecommunications, defense-grade 3D RADAR and life-critical medical devices. He blends FPGA/SoC hardware architecture with VHDL/SystemVerilog firmware and embedded C++/C software to deliver end-to-end, reliable systems including custom redundant fiber-optic networks and mixed-signal ADC/DAC front-ends. Comfortable working with engineering-sample silicon (Xilinx, Intel) and advanced PCB materials, he applies signal-integrity, EMC and rigorous RTL/architectural practices to meet safety and MISRA/CERT standards. He augments technical depth with verification automation (UVM plus Python/TCL cross-language simulation tools) and production testbench development to enable hardware-on-the-loop runtime validation. Trained in design thinking, lean project management and coaching, he drives collaborative Agile teams that scale reliability-focused practices across organizations. Based in Normandy (Sweden), he brings a systems-level mindset that anticipates cross-domain interactions between hardware, firmware and software early in the design cycle.
