Summary
Rahul Patil is a Digital Design Engineer with nine years of hands-on RTL design, verification, and FPGA validation experience, currently contributing at Intel after roles at Chelsio, Eximius, and Mobiveil. He specializes in high-speed interfaces and protocols—notably PCIe transaction and data link layers—and has implemented and validated designs on Zynq Ultrascale+ platforms. Rahul has a strong verification background using RAL models and Cadence NC-Sim, and practical synthesis experience with Design Compiler and Vivado. His M.Tech in VLSI Design underpins work on AMBA-AHB and MIPI-DSI modules early in his career, reflecting a blend of academic depth and applied engineering. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who pairs protocol-level understanding with FPGA bring-up skills, often surfacing subtle timing and link-level issues before silicon. He is also a CS grad affiliate with UCSD on GitHub, signaling ongoing engagement with broader software and systems topics beyond pure RTL.
