Kavya Sree Maddikara

Embedded Software Engineer @Mobiveil Inc

Developed and refined Embedded C firmware for FPGA-based PCIe and high-speed interface controllers by integrating low-level drivers with hardware accelerators and tuning DMA transfers and memory access patterns, resulting in an 18% increase in sustained data throughput. • Implemented and optimized bare-metal peripheral drivers for SPI, I2C, UART, and Ethernet/IP in RTOS environments with interrupt-driven event handling, reducing bus latency and improving peripheral data throughput by 22%. • Designed and verified FPGA logic using VHDL/Verilog on Xilinx Vivado and Intel Quartus platforms, implementing finite state machines, DSP pipelines, and precise timing closure strategies to achieve sub-microsecond communication latency. • Conducted MIL/SIL/HIL validation of FPGA-SoC architectures using ModelSim, Vector CANoe, and Python-based test harnesses to verify protocol timing, data throughput stability, and fault recovery, ensuring system reliability under high-bandwidth conditions. • Debugged hardware–software integration issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/SWD probes to identify race conditions, signal integrity issues, and bus contention, reducing system-level defects by 27% and accelerating board bring-up by 15%.
