Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDiego Hurtado is a DSP and embedded engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing software-defined radios, FPGAs, and embedded Linux systems for space and wireless communications. He has led development of high-throughput CCSDS and DVB-S2 modems, HDL/gateware for payloads, and custom Yocto/Buildroot Linux images while working across SoC FPGAs and bare-metal/FreeRTOS firmware. At Alén and Great Scott Gadgets he translated space-grade requirements into production-ready modem and TT&C implementations, blending algorithmic signal processing with hardware-accurate Verilog/Amaranth designs. Based in A Coruña, Spain, he pairs academic telecoms training with practical AIV experience on flight and ground systems, and is comfortable moving between FPGA channelizers and software demodulators to optimize system-level performance. Notably, he combines rigorous standards compliance (CCSDS/ETSI/ECSS) with pragmatic integration for third-party user software and high-data-rate payloads.
