Vinícius Gabriel Linden

Focus on Flash Memory devices, Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol and Programmable Logic (i.e. FPGA). Funded by PADIS HT and Unisinos. - VHDL coding and testing - FPGA testing - FPGA/SSD interface testing - FPGA board estimation - Component decision (including the FPGA board) - New digital architecture design - FPGA/microcontroller communication protocol development - Decision-making on software development - Participation on analog hardware development - Project's Git and wiki organizer

Continuation of Hardware-In-the-Loop simulation, for AGCO. During this time, I also did: - In-field machine testing (combine)

Newly created Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) laboratory, helping the electric engineering team. Interacted mostly in the Function Safety part. - Components & software in HIL and land machines testing - Existing HIL improvements and maintenance - Building new HIL - Automating HIL - Machine modelling with Matlab, Simulink and LabViewfor closing the loop with HIL racks - Production line support - Machine software update - weakly SCRUM meetings participation - following the SCRUM methodology at the end

Electromagnetic Radiation simulation for electromagnetic compatibility testing. Work was granted distinction by the university. - Working with different ANSYS tools, such as SIwave and Electromagnetics Desktop - Exporting PCB electromagnetic proprieties from Altium Designer - Coding in Python to generically translate from ODB++ to a SIwave compatible format - Acquiring .s2p files for S-parameters with the Network analyzer - Accompanying real-life PCB testing in the semi-anechoic chamber - Presenting results

Writing of Finite-Element Method simulator in Matlab for modelling vibrations in Electrical motors, due to electromechanic coupling. - Research on how the method was implemented - Research on how to implement the specific physics associated with the problem - Modeling mediums with different constants together - Testing assumptions on different medium model - Described a test machine section - FEM testing on a modeled asynchronous motor - User interface that enable parameters change - Documentation

During this time, I worked as a R&D engineer at the Technological Institute for Semiconductors. Master thesis: NVMe Analyser based on FPGA Technology. Publications: - Enabling Fast Decision Criteria in NVMe SSDs through NVMe-based Switch - An NVMe FPGA-based Smart Switch Architecture with Online Reconfiguration

My formation was very hands-on and we had to build a lot of proof-of-concepts on the breadboard. I had classes on PCB design, SMT, and semiconductors and artificial intelligence. Since the course was new, the end classes were assembled mostly with very few people and the professor. First to graduate from the new course. I did my Bachelor's thesis while working: "Automation and Verification of Functional Tests in Hardware-In-the-Loop Platform for Self-propelled Agricultural Machinery".
