Summary
Nelson Campos is a silicon design engineer with a PhD in Computer Science and over a decade of experience delivering ASIC/FPGA solutions for image and signal processing, currently working on DSP hardware at AMD. He brings end-to-end expertise from algorithm specification through fixed- and floating-point RTL implementation and verification, leveraging SystemVerilog/UVM, SystemC, HLS and a strong C/C++ and Python toolset. At Arm he shipped ISP remosaic and spatial-filter blocks, pushing verification to 100% coverage and automating lint/formal flows, and he has a track record of mentoring interns and shaping hiring decisions. Comfortable crossing research and product boundaries, he pairs academic rigor with pragmatic engineering—often implementing numerically efficient dividers and square-roots for real-time image pipelines. Based in Edinburgh, he blends deep low-level design craft with system-level thinking for high-performance multimedia silicon.
