Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohan Kelkar is a Digital Design Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience in VLSI, FPGA prototyping, and embedded systems, currently building ASIC and FPGA solutions at NXP Semiconductors from Bengaluru. He has deep practical expertise in Xilinx FPGA flows (Virtex/Spartan/ML605), automated synthesis-to-programming pipelines including partial reconfiguration and encrypted deliveries, and bringing up Cadence-based simulation environments for RTL/UVM and GLS socket workflows. Rohan pairs low-level hardware debug skills (ChipScope Pro, logic analyzers, ProxySPY) with software tooling—developing C# APIs and test frameworks to emulate legacy smartcard systems over USB-UART bridges. His background spans design, validation, and release roles across productization efforts (NFC, contactless smartcards, biomedical instruments), showing a consistent track record of migrating flows and restoring legacy functionality. He also has academic experience teaching at the master's level and a master’s degree in Microelectronics, which complements his practice with a strong theoretical foundation. An understated strength is his history of practical automation and scripting (Tcl/Bash/Batch) to accelerate bring-up and test cycles for complex hardware-software integrations.
