Summary
Rudy Hill is an ASIC & FPGA engineer with 8 years of experience building RTL/IP, implementation, testing, and verification for aerospace and defense systems, holding a Secret clearance. He has delivered end-to-end IP such as I2C routers, SpaceWire (RMAP) register mapping, and serial synchronous cores on Xilinx Ultrascale, Versal, KU060, and Microchip RTG4 platforms. At Lockheed Martin he designed test-equipment FPGAs and led SpaceVPX IPMI hardware/software architecture, pairing board layout and embedded C firmware with Python GUIs for system control. More recently he contributes to RISC-V and in-house UVM verification at Rodapa LLC, blending IP development with processor and verification work. His background in reinforcement learning for autonomous driving and hands-on full-stack tooling (from web apps to Python C-extensions) gives him an uncommon cross-domain fluency between hardware, embedded software, and control systems. Based in Denver, he is passionate about applying cutting-edge hardware and software to solve complex, safety-critical challenges.
