Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Silva is a hardware engineer with nine years of experience specializing in programmable digital electronics, embedded firmware, and RF systems, currently working at EID S.A. He holds an MSc in Electronic Engineering (Telecommunications) from Politécnico de Leiria and has a track record building FPGA-based test setups and validating communication interfaces from internships at Renesas to R&D roles at INESC Coimbra. At CEC he spent several years delivering embedded systems and firmware, and his open-source contributions to the well-regarded liquid-dsp project show practical DSP and performance optimization skills (FEC, Viterbi decoders, AVX/SIMD). Comfortable across circuit design, PCB layout, and embedded software, João blends low-level hardware design with signal-processing expertise and an interest in software-defined and space communications.
