WORK HISTORY
Senior Firmware Engineer @Advanced Energy
Denver, CO, US
Board bring up for new platform based on Zynq Ultrascale+ SOC which includes bring up of Ethernet PHY chip, DACs, QSPI flash, DDR, EEPROM (I2C interface), SFP fiber optic on custom hardware.* Ported ThreadX RTOS on cortex A53 utilizing all 4 cores through SMP feature of RTOS.* I am currently leading new platform initiative for RF plasma power generators using Xilinx Zynq SoCs and ThreadX RTOS. I architected a modular embedded framework in C++, integrating HAL/OSAL layers, which reduced development time by 25%.* Implemented DMA driver for transferring chunks of data between Zynq and FPGA through AXI interface, this reduces overall data processing time by 90% compared to manual read/write through C code.* Developed nested interrupts for the ARM Cortex A9 using ThreadX RTOS.* Designed and optimized ISR handling in C++ using event driven architecture based on ThreadX RTOS.Integrated the NetX TCP/IP stack into application to establish a client-server mechanism based on TCP sockets.* My innovations include booting Cortex-R5 cores independently via U-Boot customization and introducing a Python-based automatic FPGA C-code driver interface generation process adopted team-wide.* Implemented proof of concept which achieved sub-ns clock offset accuracy between inter-product communication targeting real time process control using Zynq Ultrascale+.

SKILLS
ABOUT MIHIR CHAUHAN
With over 12 years of experience in embedded firmware development, I specialize in architecting high-performance, real-time systems using C/C++ on platforms like Xilinx Zynq and Zynq Ultrascale+(ARM cortex A9/A53). I’m passionate about building reliable, scalable firmware that powers cutting-edge hardware—whether it\'s for RF plasma generators, medical devices, or industrial automation.From bringing up complex SoCs like Zynq UltraScale+ to optimizing EtherCAT performance by 90%, I thrive at the intersection of firmware engineering, hardware integration, and system performance. I’ve led the development of modular frameworks, designed interrupt-driven systems, and implemented real-time firmware using RTOS (ThreadX, VxWorks, FreeRTOS) and Linux. My hands-on expertise spans SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet to wireless protocols like Zigbee and BLE.Implemented unit tests for each small code unit to perform sanity checks before testing on actual device.Looking ahead, I’m excited about advancing in roles that challenge my technical depth and leadership capabilities—especially in domains where real-time precision, scalability, and innovation matter most. Let’s connect if you\'re working on exciting embedded projects or looking for a collaborative leader in embedded firmware design.
