Summary
Marcos Oliveira is a Team Leader Electronics Engineer with over a decade of deep FPGA and SoC design experience, currently leading electronics teams at CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory. He specializes in low-latency synchronous systems, high-speed serial links, automated design flows and large-scale in-system verification, having synchronized 100+ links per FPGA and automated characterization of hundreds of optical transceivers. Marcos pairs research-grade rigor (PhD-level work at EPFL) with hands-on hardware and firmware delivery across trigger and data-acquisition systems for ATLAS. He is passionate about teaching and scientific research and brings a long-standing fascination with miniaturized systems and their societal impact. Known for bridging PCB, FPGA, and low-level software domains, he often drives automation to scale complex test and production tasks. Colleagues value him for turning experimental prototypes into robust, production-ready electronics in high-stakes research environments.
