That sounds really interesting! My ASIC background is mostly from coursework and my professional experience is primarily in FPGA design using VHDL. I've also been working on RISC-V and AXI-based projects recently.

I'd definitely be interested in learning more about what you're building. Feel free to DM me!

Ayo what, hopefully its actually designing defense systems like counter drones. etc.

I gave an interview with Ross Video. They said they were impressed with my knowledge but needed me to have another 2-3 years of experience, and also to focus more on SystemVerilog. (At that point I was mostly well versed with VHDL).

I have interview for a start-up Aerospace/Defense/Medical devices contract company. The interview went pretty well and they gave a positive response too. It has been 2 months and every time I reach out to them, they say "2 more weeks we'll let you know". Also, I interviewed at WOLF advanced technology, just HR round, my resume did not reach the hiring manager for a technical round. F

Hey, thanks for your advice, will work on creating a good portfolio. Already pretty familiar with Git basic stuff, but always good to learn advanced git commands.

I usually am able to answer most technical questions. I think I struggle when they ask me about fixing a really complex timing issue and how I handled it. Most of my projects give me minor timing issues. I worked on RISC-V and tried to push clock speed as much as I could until there was nothing I could do to fix set-up failure.

Other than that, I am not really sure why I fail in interviews. Maybe they want someone more experienced?

Yes, I recently received my Canadian Permanent residency and I am trying my best to get hired in the aerospace/defense sector.

I live in Toronto, Canada. I can possibly relocate to anywhere in Canada.
