Summary
Sandor Szilvasi is a Director of Hardware Engineering with 15 years of experience building full-stack software-defined radio (SDR) products and leading cross-disciplinary hardware, FPGA, and RF teams. He combines deep hands-on expertise in VHDL, C++, Python and Matlab with product-minded enclosure and systems design, having moved multiple SDR products from prototype to production and driven RF/FPGA-in-the-loop test infrastructure. At Bastille he led LTE localization, ML-driven localization pipelines, and PHY-layer development; at Grayshift he now directs hardware engineering at scale. Trained to the PhD level in electrical engineering, he has a rare blend of academic rigor and practical bring-up experience that informs clean, testable product architectures. Colleagues value his insistence on thoroughness and elegant system boundaries, which often uncovers subtle failure modes early in development.
