Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeith Pflieger is a Senior FPGA Engineer with 25+ years of R&D and product development experience, blending deep digital hardware design (FPGA/ASIC), mixed-signal board design, and DSP firmware for high-performance and mission-critical systems. He has led architecture and implementation for projects ranging from TFLOPS-class FFT engines and high-speed video projector interfaces to ultra-low-power wireless gateways and FPGA-based SSD controllers, demonstrating a rare ability to carry concepts from proposal through production handoff. Comfortable across languages and toolchains (VHDL/Verilog, C, Python, MATLAB, Quartus, Xilinx tools, ModelSim), he also writes embedded drivers and application software for low-power MCUs and FPGA processors. A systems thinker who pairs algorithm development with hands-on lab work, he has repeatedly solved timing, alignment, and power challenges in innovative ways—such as an auto-alignment scheme for multi-GSps data buses and adaptive wireless scheduling for multi-year battery life. Now focused on ML/AI for IoT edge devices, he combines curiosity and creativity with consulting experience and a track record of technical leadership on both commercial and defense platforms.
