Prasanna Siddireddy is a Staff Engineer in San Diego with 10 years of experience building FPGA firmware, emulation compilers, and high-throughput data acquisition systems for cutting-edge physics and semiconductor platforms. At Qualcomm he drives compiler and debug-environment development for an emulation platform, contributing features from RTL through bitstream and enabling new user workflows. His background includes firmware and multi-lane optical interface work for CMS muon detector upgrades at UC Santa Barbara and signal-reconstruction HLS algorithms at CERN, giving him deep end-to-end hardware-software expertise. He combines rigorous academic training—a PhD in Elementary Particle Physics from Notre Dame and an engineering physics BTech from IIT Bombay—with hands-on engineering to solve high-bandwidth, low-latency problems. Prasanna’s uncommon blend of particle-physics experimental experience and production-grade compiler/emulation work lets him translate complex hardware constraints into pragmatic developer tools and platform capabilities.
