About Nishant Kumar

I am an FPGA Design Engineer with hands-on experience across the complete FPGA development lifecycle — from RTL design and verification to custom board bring-up and hardware debugging.My work primarily focuses on Xilinx Zynq SoC platforms, with strong expertise in the Vivado design flow, AXI-based architectures, and SystemVerilog/Verilog RTL development. I have worked extensively on custom FPGA boards, including DDR bring-up and testing, clock and reset architecture design, and power-on validation, ensuring reliable system behavior at the board and SoC level.On the verification side, I have experience building functional verification environments from scratch, with a strong foundation in digital design principles, verification methodologies, and structured debugging approaches. I am comfortable bridging the gap between hardware and verification, enabling faster root-cause analysis and stable designs.I bring a detail-oriented, fundamentals-first mindset, shaped by real hardware exposure, while actively preparing for advanced FPGA Design Engineering roles in high-performance and complex systems.I am open to challenging FPGA opportunities globally, where deep technical ownership, clean design practices, and continuous learning are valued.
