Vitali Tupikov

Senior FPGA Design Engineer with 15+ years of experience architecting and delivering mission‑critical FPGA and SoC solutions across defense (aerospace mission systems), medical imaging, and industrial applications. I specialize in Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, Zynq‑7000, Kintex UltraScale, Artix‑7, Spartan‑6/7, and Intel Stratix/Agilex devices, taking designs from requirements and architecture through RTL implementation, simulation, timing closure, verification, and hands‑on hardware bring‑up in Linux‑centric flows. My work spans high‑speed data paths and interfaces (DDR3/DDR4, SERDES, Aurora, PCIe, Ethernet), DSP and control pipelines (FIR/IIR/CIC, DUC/DDC, real‑time control loops, motor control/FOC), and embedded/FPGA co‑design using Model‑Based Design in MATLAB/Simulink with HDL Coder and Embedded Coder. I routinely integrate third‑party IP, develop custom AXI‑based architectures, and debug complex systems in the lab using scopes, logic analyzers, and on‑chip debug tools. I enjoy collaborating closely with systems, software, and hardware teams, and I’m comfortable working directly with customers and vendors to clarify requirements and deliver production‑ready FPGA solutions with strong documentation and traceability.
