Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLukas Arnold is a Senior FPGA Engineer with nine years of experience at the intersection of digital microelectronics, particle physics and computer science, currently leading FPGA design for LiDAR at Voyant Photonics in New York. He designs, implements and validates high-bandwidth, low-latency algorithms on cutting-edge FPGAs using VHDL/Verilog/HLS and complements that with C/C++/Python host-side work. His background includes hands-on roles at Quantum Computing Inc. and CERN and research-driven FPGA acceleration for ML in major experiments like DUNE, SBND and ATLAS. Lukas combines academic rigor—advanced studies in microelectronics, physics and an MS in Computer Science from Columbia—with practical product delivery in photonics and sensor systems. He’s particularly skilled at translating experimental high-energy physics requirements into production-grade, real-time FPGA architectures. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who thrives on squeezing latency and bandwidth out of complex hardware/software stacks.
